The Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management (SASSCAL) has formally transferred ownership of 15 automatic weather stations (AWS) to Botswana’s Ministry of Environment and Tourism. This significant handover, a key component of the WeNet project, took place earlier today. Concurrently, SASSCAL is facilitating a three-day training workshop for stakeholders involved in the WeMAST Project Phase 2, designed to reinforce and expand the regional community of practice. “In Botswana, the WeNET Project has repaired nine existing AWS and installed six new stations, bringing the total to fifteen,” Professor Indongo declared. “The state-of-the-art Automatic Weather Stations handed over today will provide accurate and timely weather data that is critical for key sectors such as agriculture, aviation, education, research, water, energy, and disaster management,” Indongo emphasized.
