The source of salinity and the geochemical processes that control the groundwater salinization in the Machile River Basin within the Sesheke and Kazungula districts of Western and Southern provinces of Zambia are not well understood and explained. The central part of the basin contains saline...

Zambia is endowed with a great variety of natural resources. For instance, Zambia has good climate with a favourable rainfall pattern; this provides sufficient recharge for the surface and ground water resources. In spite of the sufficient surface and ground water resources, accessibility to...

Zambia’s ethnic groups have each developed indigenous practices and systems that make up their Indigenous Knowledge (IK). This IK has not been adequately documented nor has it been used in modern approaches to natural resource conservation. IK is useful not only in managing water resources but...

The study was aimed at contributing to the provision of good quality groundwater supply in Petauke District. It comprised collection and analysis of 50 groundwater samples from boreholes in the dry and wet season in Petauke Town. Water exit points were sterilised before collection of samples....

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a dominant hydrologic flux in the water budget of semi-arid areas.Thus, accurate estimation of its dynamics in such environments is critical for improvingN water resources management. In this study the physically-based Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model was...

Water is a scarce and a vulnerable resource. The use of water in an environmentally sustainable manner can help achieve global development. This is because an environment with poor water quality is bound to encounter catastrophic problems and subsequently derail global development. 'Shared water...

A mass balance technique was used to investigate the hydrogeochemistry of the Kafixe river as it crosses the Copperbelt mining area between Raglans farm and Machiya feiTy. Tlie study is done by examining the mass flow-rates often chemical parameters, namely: total dissolved solids, total...

The Kabompo river basin with an area of 72,000 km2, in North-Western Zambia is one of the major tributaries of the upper Zambezi River. Key water resources management problems in the Kabompo include water allocation to agriculture and ecosystems, effects of land-cover change on the flow regime...

This study assesses the impact of Climate Change on water resources in the Lwitikila River located in Mpika District of Northern Zambia. In the past few years, downstream water users have had conflicts over the use of limited water resources in Lwitikila River. There are reports that the old...

This dissertation examines effects of inadequate water supply on the health of Zambia Compound Community in Kafue District. Both Secondary and Primary sources of information have been used. Secondary sources used were from books, the internet, journals and news papers. The primary source used was...
