CRC Press - Management of River Basins and Dams: Zambezi River

Explore the vital dynamics of the Zambezi River Basin, the fourth largest river basin in Africa. Spanning 1,350,000 square kilometers, this basin is a critical resource for eight nations: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. This volume provides a technical look at a region that includes the famous Victoria Falls and Lake Kariba, the third largest artificial lake in the world. This collection is essential for professionals and researchers interested in natural resource management and hydropower potential. The text compiles 37 papers originally published in international journals or presented at international conferences by the Zambezi River Authority staff. It offers direct insights into the management of one of the most resource-rich regions in Africa, providing academic and practical perspectives on river basin and dam operations.
