An increase of surface water Dondo extent was observed in the 29 January 2017 image compared to the 05 January 2017 image including the zones along the Pungwe river and several areas along this river were inundated. It is likely that flood waters 19°39'0"S 19°39'0"S have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within Sofala built-up urban areas because of the special Inhamizua characteristics of the satellite data used.

    SOUTHERN AFRICA Flash Update No.11 – Tropical Cyclone Eloise As of 28 January 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • More than 270,000 people have been affected by Eloise across Southern Africa, including 267,289 in Mozambique, more than 1,000 in Zimbabwe and more than 1,000 in Eswatini. • The death toll from Eloise has risen to 21, including 11 in Mozambique, 3 in Zimbabwe, 4 in Eswatini, 2 in South Africa and 1 in Madagascar. • With flood waters present in multiple locations, the risk of water-borne diseases, including cholera, is high. • Tens of thousands of hectares of crops have been flooded due to the Eloise weather system, which could have consequences for the next harvest and food security in the period ahead. SITUATION OVERVIEW The Eloise weather system has left at least 21 people dead -11 in Mozambique, 3 in Zimbabwe, 4 in Eswatini, 2 in South Africa and 1 in Madagascar- and affected more than 270,000 people across Southern Africa, according to preliminary information which continues to be updated as new data becomes available. Although the damage wrought by Eloise to date has been less widespread than Tropical Cyclone Idai in 2019, homes, crops and infrastructure in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and South Africa have been damaged or destroyed. In Mozambique, the number of people affected by Tropical Storm Eloise has risen to 267,289, as assessment teams have reached areas impacted by the storm and further information is becoming available. At least 20,167 people are sheltering in 32 temporary accommodation centres after being displaced by flooding, where urgent needs include clean water and sanitation to prevent disease outbreaks.

  • Southern Africa • Floods Regional Update # 1 10 March 2010 This Report Was Issued by the Regional Office for Southern and Eastern Africa (ROSEA)
    Southern Africa • Floods Regional Update # 1 10 March 2010 This report was issued by the Regional Office for Southern and Eastern Africa (ROSEA). It covers the period from 01 February to 9 March 2010. The next report will be issued within the next two weeks I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Normal to above normal rains in northern Zambia and northern Mozambique are causing river levels to rise, forcing authorities to discharge water from Kariba dam in Zimbabwe and Cahora Bassa dam in Mozambique. This, in addition to the ongoing rainfall is causing localized flooding in some areas. • The Government of Mozambique issued a Red Alert on 9 March, in response to the localized flooding in parts of the country. To date, 13,000 displaced people have been relocated to safe areas. • In Zambia, an estimated 800 families have been affected by flooding of which 150 have been relocated to temporary shelter setup by the Government. • An estimated 910 cholera cases and 19 cholera related deaths have been reported in Zambia. II. Regional Situation Overview Consistent with the SADC Outlook for the first quarter of the year, there has been normal to above normal rainfall across the northern half of southern Africa. Northern Zambia and northern Mozambique have particularly received above normal rains. In turn, the Kariba dam, in Zimbabwe, is 73% full. This prompted the opening of one flood gate on the 9th of March 2010. Eastern and Northern Zimbabwe received heavy rains in the past two weeks leading to flash floods in some areas and to the rise, above alert levels, of the Pungwe River downstream in Mozambique.

  • Four Key Episodes in the Policy Articulation of IWRM in Downstream Mozambique
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 9 | Issue 3 Alba, R. and Bolding, A. 2016. IWRM avant la lettre? Four key episodes in the policy articulation of IWRM in downstream Mozambique. Water Alternatives 9(3): 549-568 IWRM Avant la Lettre? Four Key Episodes in the Policy Articulation of IWRM in Downstream Mozambique Rossella Alba Governance and Sustainability Lab, Trier University, Trier, Germany; [email protected] Alex Bolding Water Resources Management group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The first substantive piece of water legislation ever adopted in Mozambique, the Lei de Águas of 1991, was crafted before IWRM was endorsed as the newly emerging global consensus on water governance. Yet, the Lei de Águas already incorporated the river basin concept and its decentralised water management, making Mozambique a case of IWRM 'avant la lettre'. In this paper, we reconstruct the drivers behind four key policy episodes that shaped the travel of IWRM to Mozambique, viz. the Lei de Águas 1991, the SADC Water Protocol, the National Water Policy 1995, and the 2007 national reforms and regulations, drawing from the experiences of two Mozambican river basins, the Limpopo and the Pungwe. In terms of process, we observe that domestic concerns, a small Mozambican water policy elite nurtured by international donors, and the agenda of financial institutions highly shaped the articulation of IWRM. In terms of outcomes, several contradictions emerge: i.e. centralised State management seems to have become further entrenched, stakeholders have virtually no say in water matters and the most powerful and wealthy stakeholders use payments to secure water cheaply at the expense of unregistered smallholder users who depend for their livelihoods on primary water.

  • 1 Technical Note: Hydrology of the Lake Urema Wetland, Mozambique
    Technical Note: Hydrology of the Lake Urema wetland, Mozambique Matthew McCartney and Richard Owen October 2007 Description Lake Urema is a shallow lake located on the floor of the Rift Valley, just to the south of the Zambezi River in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. Located at 18o52’ S and 34o39’E at an altitude of approximately 20 masl, the lake is part of the Lower Zambezi-Gorongoza-Buzi- Pungwe floodplain system (Breen et al., 1997). The floodplains surrounding the lake are highly productive and crucial to the ecological well being of the National Park. The periodic inundation of the floodplains creates a dynamic ecotone supporting a range of diverse temporal habitats with the capacity to support large numbers of herbivores and associated predators (Tinley, 1977). The lake itself supports large numbers of hippopotamus, crocodiles and water birds and is an important source of fish for several communities living close to it. Several rivers drain onto the Rift valley floor from the both the east and west. The primary inflowing river is the River Nhanduge which rises to the north-west of the lake on the Barue platform which forms the highlands on the western side of the Rift Valley (Figure 1). The river source is close to the city of Macosse and not far from the border with Zimbabwe. Other rivers originate on the flanks of Mount Gorongosa. Mount Gorongosa is a younger intrusive granite massif (30km (N-S) by 20 km (E-W)) rising 1,400m above the Barue platform immediately to the north-west of the lake (Figure 1).

    MOZAMBIQUE Tropical Cyclone IDAI Briefing note – 15 March 2019 Tropical Cyclone Idai that developed from a tropical depression beginning on 9 March made landfall on the evening of 14 March through Beira city, Sofala province, central Mozambique. 600,000 people are estimated to be affected. Heavy rains and flooding over recent days have already affected 141,000 people, displaced 17,100 and killed 66 people.
