The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Zambia using the Chilanga plant as a case study. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the quality of the EIA process conducted at Chilanga plant against international EIA standards; assess the...

Zambia, rich in its renewable energy potential, faces a complex matrix of challenges and opportunities in harnessing and optimizing this potential. This research sought to investigate the drivers and barriers to the implementation of renewable energy technologies beyond hydropower. The study,...

Cockroaches appear to be suitable mechanical transmitters for a wide range of food borne pathogenic microorganisms due to their habit of feeding on excreta or garbage and occurrence in places where food is stored or handled. Therefore, they can play a significant role in the dissemination of...

Floods are among the world’s most devastating hazards, and their effects negatively affect ecological and socioeconomic systems. Ecologically, they affect the distribution of provisional and regulatory services. Socio-economically, loss of lives, property, and financial costs. Application of GIS...

The community near dumpsites/landfills depend on groundwater from shallow wells and boreholes for drinking. However, leachates from dumpsites/landfills could be a source of microbial and toxic chemical contamination to the nearby soil and groundwater. Contamination of groundwater will in turn...

Nkana Synclinorium Mine is in the Southern part of the Nkana mining license area in Kitwe. The mine has been an underground operation since 1930 when the first shaft was sunk at Central Shaft. Vertical Crater Retreat (CVR) and Sub-Level Curving (SLC) are the main copper ore mining methods used at...

The study conducted at the Technical and Vocational Teachers' College (TVTC) aimed to optimize its Local Area Networks (LANs) following a survey via a Google Forms questionnaire, which identified problem gaps. This led to stating a research problem statement and prompted a network redesign and...

Solar energy plays a vital role in reducing energy deficits by providing a renewable and sustainable power source, and it significantly reduces contributions to climate change compared to fossil fuels. A deeper understanding of the concepts involved in the study of solar energy is crucial for the...

Mufulira Mine has been in operation since 1933. The Mine is situated on the Copperbelt region of Zambia. It is predominantly rich in copper mineralization. Due to increase in mine depth which currently stands at 1,557 m, the mine has been experiencing geomechanical challenges such as rock...
