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...

This research aimed at assessing the presence and quantities of heavy metals and organic EDCs in...
Download PDF ↓The objective of the study was to provide a holistic evaluation of the impacts of deforestation on ecosystem services in Kamfinsa sub-catchment of Kitwe in Zambia. Loss of forest biomass, biodiversity, and soil erosion were key proxy variables for loss of ecosystem services. Geographical...
Download PDF ↓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...
