The concern over increasing needs for drinking water and awareness for the development of systems to improve water quality both for drinking purposes and for effluents from wastewater treatment and industrial facilities have provided incentives to develop new technologies and to improve the performance of existing technologies. In recent decades, water treatment using nano technological based expertise has gained significant attention. Against this background, the adaptation of highly advanced nanotechnology to traditional process engineering offers new opportunities in technological developments for advanced water and wastewater technology processes. Recent nanotechnology technique extends from the fabrication of membranes from nanomaterials to the use of catalysts for the decomposition of noxious compounds in water. Research advances in nanotechnologies for water and wastewater treatment processes is provided, including nano based materials such as nano adsorbents, nanometals, nanomembranes, and photocatalysts. The beneficial properties of these materials as well as technical barriers when compared with conventional processes are reported. Hence, the waste water treatment can be executed with various materials such as Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHS), metal oxides, and Ag NPs, depending upon their preparation conditions, are applicable for various wastewater treatment processes. The use of nanotechnology to remove contaminants in water is widespread and many advances have already been achieved. The application of nanotechnology in the clean-up of contaminated water could be summarised by nanoscale filtration techniques, the adsorption of pollutants on nanoparticles and the breakdown of contaminants in wastewater by nanoparticle, Nano sheets, and Carbon Nanotubes as catalysts. Keywords: Nanotechnology, nanoparticle, Waste water treatment. INTRODUCTION Water is the most essential substance for all life on earth and it is a precious resource for global civilisation. Reliable access to clean and affordable water is considered one of the most basic humanitarian goals and it still remains a major global challenge for the 21st century (Gehrke et al., 2015). Outside of the laboratory there is no such thing as “pure” water. Even the naturally occurring water contains impurities and other contaminants that may make it dangerous for human consumption and for the environment. Water contamination not only affects the environment and human health, but it has impacts on the economic and social spheres. The adaptation of highly advanced nanotechnology ~ 4 ~ to traditional process engineering offers new opportunities in technological developments for advanced water and wastewater technology processes (Gehrke et al., 2015). This is due to the fact that the traditional process has been difficult

  • Zambezi Landscape Profile
    1. Background information of the Zambezi Landscape 1.1 Description of the Landscape The Zambezi Focal Landscape is situated in the far eastern part of the Zambezi Region, forming a roughly square-shaped area lying immediately east of Katima Mulilo, bordered in the north by the edge of the floodplains of the Zambezi River and in the south by sections of the Chobe River. The total area of the Focal Landscape is 219,513 ha. The landscape is fairly flat and parts of it are prone to flooding during the wet season. It is characterized by clay-loam and sandy-loam soils, and rural livelihoods are based mainly on livestock, dryland cropping, and tourism and wildlife in the conservancies. The relevant features of the landscape are: The Zambezi Focal Landscape is located in several constituencies in the Zambezi Region, namely • Katima Mulilo Rural Constituency. • Kabbe North Constituency. • Kabbe South Constituency. • Sibbinda Constituency. 1.2 Ethnic Groups The Focal Landscape is mainly inhabited by the Mafwe and the Masubia people. WATS Investment cc is the Consortium responsible for overseeing the implementation of the landscape activities in this Focal Landscape. 1.3 Population and demographics The population in the Zambezi Focal Landscape has been calculated from the 2011 cen- sus data, using the NSA’s disaggregated figure for the exact area of the focal landscape (7,213 people) (NSA 2021 pers. comm.) and applying to this the annual growth rate of 1.3% for the Region (NSA 2012). This calculates to 8,207 people. In 2011 the sex ratio was roughly equal, with a very small male bias (51.9% men to 48.1% women).

Migration is a powerful driver of population change and can have important consequence of economic, political and social changes. Because of its great impact on societies, migration needs to be adequately measured and understood. Reliable statistical data is the key to the basic understanding of this important demographic phenomenon. Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist. Improvement in this area requires knowledge of the principles of collecting, compiling and analysing migration statistics. Migration is one of the three factors that affect population size of a particular geographic area, the other factors are fertility and- mor tality. Analytical reports on the situations of fertility and mortality are presented in separate reports which were released in 2014. The migration report provides information on internal and international migration covering both lifetime and short term migrants based on 2011 census data. Thus, report presents evidences on the migration patterns in Namibia to assist policy makers, planners and researchers in the formulation of national development programmes, as well as monitoring and evaluating implementation of national pro- grams.

  • National Voters Register 2014
    National Voters Register 2014 @ 7 November 2014 Introduction The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) conducted a Supplementary Registration of Voters (SRV) in preparation of the Presidential and National Assembly elections that will be held on 28 November 2014. The same process that was used during the GRV was employed to register voters during the SRV period of 8 to 20 September 2014. The exercise used the biometric Voter Registration Kits (VRKs) deployed by over 700 teams throughout the country and a further 29 points at embassies and consulates around the world. The VRKs collect the data in the field, and this data was then transferred to the central server for processing. This processing includes searching for duplicates through ID and fingerprint matching. National Voters Register 2014 The National Voters Register 2014 has been prepared and the Constituency copies are available within each constituency in the country. The total number of voters are 1,241,194. National GRV Final 1,161,383 @ 7 September after removals 1,159,091 Objections - Supplementary registered 118,487 Provisional Register 1,277,578 Duplicates removed (Corrections, litigations, deaths) 36,384 Total for PE & NA Register 1,241,194 The table above shows the numbers of registrations during the Supplementary Registration of Voters, the number of removals (due to corrections, deaths, etc.) and the final voters register total.
