Short summary
This paper presents an integrated approach to assessing floods and droughts in the transboundary Mékrou River basin, West Africa, combining climatic trends analysis and a household survey. The multi-variable trend analysis estimates, at the biophysical level, the climate variability and the occurrence of floods and droughts. These results are coupled with household survey data that reveal the opinions of local residents, the observed climate variability, and the costs of floods and droughts.
