  abstract = {{T}he first version of a decision-support tool ({DST}) for the management of the transboundary water resource of the {V}olta {B}asin is presented in this article. {T}he {DST} coupled a hydrologic model with the {W}ater {E}valuation and {P}lanning ({WEAP}) water-allocation model. {I}t was calibrated and validated by reproducing observed river flows and water stored in the hydropower reservoirs, respectively. {I}t considered the impact of possible future climate changes (potentially critical) and the development of upstream small reservoirs (leading to upstream-downstream trade-offs) on the {A}kosombo hydropower scheme. {T}his {DST} may foster transboundary dialogue for the integrated management of the basin's water resources.},
