There is a fast growing water scarcity problem in Zambia. This problem is already making itself manifest by a lack of agricultural expansion in the more productive areas of Zambia due to the unavailability of water. The Kaleya River catchment, as an example, has a long history of conflicts...

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...

Abstract Visualizing Wildlife Conservation and Development in Southern Africa: A Multi-Optic Approach by Andrew Lyons Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Wayne Getz, Chair The relationships between people and natural...

This dissertation investigated the nature and extent of the inadequacy of water and sanitation service delivery and access in the high density areas of Kitwe, in particular Wusakile, Buchi, Chimwemwe, Kapoto, Mulenga and Chipata. The nature of water supply and access examined service coverage and...

The research focused on investigating the levels of awareness by the people in Petauke district on Environmental Education (EE), causes of environmental problems and their mitigation measures; and then to determine the ecological impacts in the district to form as baseline data to design an EE on...

A study site in the Luangwa district, south-eastern part of Lusaka Province was used for an investigation of the impact of human activities on indigenous woody vegetation.Evidence obtained from the review of literature and initial field reconnaissance suggested that the observed changes and...

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...
