This study investigates the opportunities to improve livelihoods of affected downstream communities by revising the operating regime of two dams on the Lower Volta river in Ghana. Opportunities to improve downstream ecosystem services and livelihoods and their impacts on hydropower production are investigated based on a water allocation model. Options to flood specific areas and manage saltwater intrusion are reported, and alternative livelihood solutions for the downstream communities are recommended.
