Dashboard for the Volta Basin

5.1.2 Feedback on dashboard prototype

Key recommendations made by the groups for inclusion in the dashboard:

• Seasonal time & scale reporting: Implement features to generate reports that provide
insights into water dynamics over different seasons and temporal scales.

• Climate change integration: Integrate considerations for climate change impacts into

the dashboard to enhance resilience in water resource management practices.

• Water quality monitoring: Incorporate modules for monitoring water quality
parameters to assess environmental health and human well-being accurately.

• Water consumption/use tracking: Include functionalities for tracking water

consumption and usage across various sectors to support informed decision-making

regarding resource allocation.

• Short-term forecasting: Develop capabilities for short-term forecasting of water-
related variables to enable proactive responses to dynamic challenges.

• Utilization of WA+ output: Explore the use of WA+ output as input for the Volta Alarm

system to enhance predictive capabilities and enable timely interventions in response

to emerging water risks.

5.1.3 Dashboard integration to VBA website
Following the workshop, the dashboard was duly integrated into the VBA website where

users are required to sign up to an account in order to access the dashboard.
