River discharge modelling based on surface flow velocity estimations: A combination of Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry and three dimensional discharge modelling

Rivers have long since exceeded their natural purpose of discharging excess water, by becoming subject to many practical applications demanded by present day society [61]. In order to comply withthis variety of needs and demands, the necessity for proper water management arises, which in turn requires data and knowledge of hydrological...

The underlying processes of evaporative changes: within the transition period in the Miombo Woodlands, Mpika, Zambia in 2018

The Miombo woodlands are characterized by a transition period which is defined as the dry period in which grasses wither, trees shed and flush their leaves a few weeks before the rainy season. It is difficult to measure evaporation, due to the influence of the plant water storage on the water availability during the dry season. The seasonal...

Refining Green Plants to Protein Cakes and other useful products in the African country Zambia

Basis of Design for a process to refine green plants

Luanika waterway

During the dry season shipping between Mongu and Kalabo is impossible, therefore this project was started to improve the situation by dredging. Dredging was started at Mongu harbour, where a new dredger was delivered, assembled and launched. Due to the urgency of the project dredging had to be started before a profound survey concerning the...
