  • Water Scenarios for the Zambezi River Basin, 2000 - 2050
    Water Scenarios for the Zambezi River Basin, 2000 - 2050 Lucas Beck ∗ Thomas Bernauer ∗∗ June 1, 2010 Abstract Consumptive water use in the Zambezi river basin (ZRB), one of the largest fresh- water catchments in Africa and worldwide, is currently around 15-20% of total runoff. This suggests many development possibilities, particularly for irrigated agriculture and hydropower production. Development plans of the riparian countries indicate that con- sumptive water use might increase up to 40% of total runoff already by 2025. We have constructed a rainfall–runoff model for the ZRB that is calibrated on the best available runoff data for the basin. We then feed a wide range of water demand drivers as well as climate change predictions into the model and assess their implications for runoff at key points in the water catchment. The results show that, in the absence of effective international cooperation on water allocation issues, population and economic growth, expansion of irrigated agriculture, and water transfers, combined with climatic changes are likely to have very important transboundary impacts. In particular, such impacts involve drastically reduced runoff in the dry season and changing shares of ZRB coun- tries in runoff and water demand. These results imply that allocation rules should be set up within the next few years before serious international conflicts over sharing the Zambezi’s waters arise.

  • Overview of Experiences in the Limpopo River Basin
    intersectorai Management of River Basins Overview of Experiences in the Limpopo River Basin Thomas Schild Team Leader, German Agency for Technical Co-operation (GTZ), Windhoek, Namibia Abstract The paper presents a summary of the findings of a German mission to four countries of Southern Africa, in which many people at different levels were asked to give their views about water issues in two trans-national river basins, the Limpopo and the Orange-Senqu. The principal common factors in people's responses are identified. Various sources and types of inequity are described. In conclusion, it is found that external assistance could be especially useful in areas of information and communication, and in organisational development for river-basin management. 1. Context A mission by a project appraisal team of the German Agency for Technical Co­ operation (GTZ) was carried out in September 2000, for the support of regional water management in the SADC (Southern African Development Community) region. The team talked to stakeholders of the Limpopo and the Orange-Senqu river basins. The mission had the following major tasks; Map the scene; Capture the expectations and issues of concern of the stakeholders with regard to the establishment of river basin commissions; Identify possible areas for technical co-operation; Make preparations for the planning workshop. 2. Procedures Between 14 and 29 September 2000, the group visited Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana and South Africa and held discussions with relevant government institutions, parastatals and donor organisations involved in water resources management of the Limpopo and, where applicable, of the Orange/Senqu. Other resource persons, such as representatives of water users' organisations, researchers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and consultants were met.

  • Large Hydro-Electricity and Hydro-Agricultural Schemes in Africa
    FAO AQUASTAT Dams Africa – 070524 DAMS AND AGRICULTURE IN AFRICA Prepared by the AQUASTAT Programme May 2007 Water Development and Management Unit (NRLW) Land and Water Division (NRL) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Dams According to ICOLD (International Commission on Large Dams), a large dam is a dam with the height of 15 m or more from the foundation. If dams are 5-15 metres high and have a reservoir volume of more than three million m3, they are also classified as large dams. Using this definition, there are more than 45 000 large dams around the world, almost half of them in China. Most of them were built in the 20th century to meet the constantly growing demand for water and electricity. Hydropower supplies 2.2% of the world’s energy and 19% of the world’s electricity needs and in 24 countries, including Brazil, Zambia and Norway, hydropower covers more than 90% of national electricity supply. Half of the world’s large dams were built exclusively or primarily for irrigation, and an estimated 30-40% of the 277 million hectares of irrigated lands worldwide rely on dams. As such, dams are estimated to contribute to 12-16% of world food production. Regional inventories include almost 1 300 large and medium-size dams in Africa, 40% of which are located in South Africa (517) (Figure 1). Most of these were constructed during the past 30 years, coinciding with rising demands for water from growing populations. Information on dam height is only available for about 600 dams and of these 550 dams have a height of more than 15 m.

Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Correspondence: Colleta Tundu ([email protected]) Received: 7 June 2017 – Accepted: 10 October 2017 – Published: 16 April 2018 Abstract. Sediment delivery into water sources and bodies results in the reduction of water quantity and quality, increasing costs of water purification whilst reducing the available water for various other uses. The paper gives an analysis of sedimentation in one of Zimbabwe’s seven rivers, the Mazowe Catchment, and its impact on water quality. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model was used to compute soil lost from the catchment as a result of soil erosion. The model was used in conjunction with GIS remotely sensed data and limited ground observations. The estimated annual soil loss in the catchment indicates soil loss ranging from 0 to 65 t ha yr−1. Bathymetric survey at Chimhanda Dam showed that the capacity of the dam had reduced by 39 % as a result of sedimentation and the annual sediment deposition into Chimhanda Dam was estimated to be 330 t with a specific yield of 226 t km−2 yr−1.

  • Coping with Floods – the Experience of Mozambique1
    1st WARFSA/WaterNet Symposium: Sustainable Use of Water Resources, Maputo, 1-2 November 2000 COPING WITH FLOODS – THE EXPERIENCE OF MOZAMBIQUE1 Álvaro CARMO VAZ Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Eduardo Mondlane University Director, CONSULTEC – Consultores Associados Lda. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A summary review is made of the major floods that have occurred in Mozambique since the Independence in 1975, describing the most important negative impacts and consequences. Various types of measures for flood mitigation are analysed, considering how they have been used in past floods and their potential for coping with floods in the future. These measures are grouped into structural (dams, levees, flooding areas, river training) and non-structural measures (flood zoning, flood management, flood warning systems, emergency plans, raising awareness, insurance). The paper briefly refers the need for adequate and comprehensive reports on past floods and some related research areas. 1 THE FLOOD PRONE RIVERS OF MOZAMBIQUE More than 50% of the Mozambican territory is part of international river basins – from South to North, the Maputo, Umbeluzi, Incomati, Limpopo, Save, Buzi, Pungoé, Zambezi and Rovuma, see figures 1 and 2. All these rivers have their flood plains inside Mozambique, with the exception of the Rovuma river that forms the border between this country and Tanzania. The largest basins are the Zambezi (1,200,000 Km2) and the Limpopo (412,000 Km2) and the smallest one is the Umbeluzi (5,600 Km2) with the others ranging from about 30,000 to 150,000 Km2.
