The document discusses water resource management in Southern Africa and the concept of hydropolitical risk. It examines factors that contribute to vulnerability in water access such as inequality, governance issues, development levels, and allocation between states. Examples are given of historical events in Mozambique and the Limpopo River basin that highlight hydropolitical risks and disasters. The creation of institutions like LIMCOM and improved forecasting aimed to develop alternatives and more sustainable management of shared water resources in the region.
