"WaRisCo brings together state-of-the-art climate and hydrological modelling capabilities from Germany and South Africa, to project the likelihood of two of the biggest climate change risks South Africa may face in a warmer world: a ‘day-zero drought’ in Gauteng, and mega-flooding in KwaZulu-Natal."
