Understanding dynamics occurring in land utilization and land cover is essential for analysing and assessing long-term transformations. These transformations in land cover primarily result from deforestation, which involves the conversion of forests into other land cover types such as...

Water scarcity is a global challenge, affecting sustainable development, human well-being and ecosystem health. In Zambia, the Kafue River Basin, an important economic and ecological resource, faces growing water demand that exceeds its natural supply and supply capacity, leading to resource...

This study underscored the importance of water quality, providing insights for sustainable resource management in decision-making and development planning. The study focused on the Luapula River Basin (LRB) in Zambia, a potential donor for inter-basin water transfers to the Kafue River Basin...

Wetlands are among the most productive natural ecosystems in the world, providing essential ecosystem services such as water that benefits human health, supporting aquatic ecosystems, and facilitating economic activities. However, a 64% to 71% of wetlands have been lost globally since 1900,...

Water insecurity in Zambia's Kafue River Basin (KRB) is rising due to climate change, land-use change and increased water abstraction. The role of forests in the hydrological cycle, particularly through evapotranspiration (ET) has not been adequately explored. This study addressed this gap. The...
