Abstract The past few years have seen the raise of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in geosciences for generating highly accurate digital elevation models (DEM) at low costs, which promises to be an interesting alternative satellite data small river basins. reliability UAV-derived topography as input hydraulic modelling is still under investigation: here, we analyse potentialities and highlight challenges employing a tropical environment, where weather conditions remoteness study area might...
Arboviral diseases pose major economic and social threats in less economically developed countries (LEDCs), where monitoring is challenging, especially rapidly growing cities with informal settlements. In this study, we aimed to explore environmental surveillance (ES) a non-sewered setting as complement syndromic Maputo, Mozambique. Water samples were collected from nine points along the Infulene River (n = 66) Mozambique February September 2023. The presence of arboviruses (Dengue (DENV),...
Deltas play an important role at the interface between river basins and ocean provide numerous economically valuable ecosystem servicesThe Delta of Incomati River a transboundary catchment with 47,000 km², shared Republic South Africa, Eswatini Mozambique, experienced profound changes over past 70 years, resulting in reduction its average discharge from 200 m3 per second (m3s-1) 1950 to currently 3.2 m3s-1 second. Dam construction, expansion irrigated sugarcane plantations exotic trees...
The Zambezi river basin is of utmost importance to its riparian countries in terms energy, food production and natural resources. Even though there no legal agreement on the sharing waters, an assessment basin-wide economically efficient allocation policies will provide valuable information at a time where water managers policy makers region are negotiating establishment unified institution, called Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM). That institution would be responsible for, amongst other...
Water microbial contamination is one of the major threats to human health. The study focus on Infulene River Basin, a urban catchment with mainly informal settlements, limited water supply and sanitation. In there are two wastewater treatment plants, hospital beer factory located banks main stream; from this stream used for agriculture domestic uses by some dwellers. These factors present significant health risk water-borne diseases. At moment knowledge about level different sources at...
Vertical electrical sounding was used for assessing the suitability of drill sites in crystalline areas within a water supply project Nampula Province Mozambique. Many boreholes have insufficient yield (<600 L/h). Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) carried out over seven with sufficient yield, and five Rapale District, an attempt to understand reason failed boreholes. Two significant hydrogeological units were identified: altered zone (19–220 ohm-m) disintegrated rock fragments...
Abstract. Water management in sub-Saharan African river basins is challenged by an uncertain future climatic, social and economical patterns potentially causing diverging water demands availability, multi-stakeholder dynamics, resulting evolving conflicts tradeoffs. In such contexts, a better understanding of the sensitivity to different sources uncertainty can support policymakers identifying robust supply policies balancing optimality low vulnerability against likely adverse conditions....
Palalane, J.; Larson, M.; Hanson, H., and Juízo, D., 2016. Coastal erosion in Mozambique: Governing processes remedial measures. Mozambique's 2800-km-long coastline comes with associated vulnerability to coastal erosion, their processes, resulting evolution. In fact, has been identified as a dominant phenomenon the Mozambican system. It is driven by combination of natural anthropogenic actions. Despite significant implications national economic development, very few technical or scientific...

Abstract. International water resources agreements for transboundary rivers in southern Africa are generally founded system analysis models planning and allocation. The Water Resources Yield Model (WRYM) developed South has so far been the only model applied official joint studies aimed to form water-sharing agreements. continuous discussion around performance growing distress over it being African, where was originally developed, while is one of interested parties process, results an...
Water service delivery to most residents of peri-urban areas greater Maputo depends largely on alternative providers, mostly in the form small-scale independent providers (SSIPs). This paper discusses present and long-term challenges facing SSIPs supplying quality water sufficient quantity possible human health risks associated with consumption provided by SSIPs. Extensive sampling analyses were conducted evaluate physicochemical bacteriological risks. Borehole pumping tests, results which...
Abstract Regional three-dimensional groundwater-flow and saltwater transport models were built to analyse intrusion in the Great Maputo area, southern Mozambique. Increased water demand has led many private groundwater abstractions, as local public supply network already reached maximum capacity. Pushing for new strategies tackle water-supply shortages exposes aquifer system from entrapped fossil saline seawater. Previous attempts at modelling have been frustrated by data limitations. This...
In recent years, the ‘river basin as a management unit’ approach has been adopted solution to water management. The situation between Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa regarding managing resources of Incomati, Maputo, Umbeluzi shared river basins is an interesting case that might need different approach. These rivers flow downstream Maputo estuary where their waters are needed for urban supply (Maputo city) fresh pulses estuary. Incomati heavily committed upstream while appears still...
This paper presents a model that uses only pH, alkalinity, and temperature to estimate the concentrations of major ions in rivers (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, HCO3−, SO42−, Cl−, NO3−) together with equilibrium minor heavy metals (Fe3+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Al3+, Pb2+, Zn2+). Mining operations have been increasing, which has led changes pollution loads receiving water systems, meanwhile most developing countries cannot afford quality monitoring. A possible solution is implement less resource-demanding...
A modelling methodology was developed that simulates the resulting pH and alkalinity in mixing zone when acidic water is discharged into a river. The input to model are the: pH, alkalinity, flow, temperature of both river discharge. Two different scenarios were simulated: (1) change discharge, assuming constant flow; (2) flow pH. incorporates effect carbonic acid modelled values agree well with laboratory results. setup subsequently used predict anticipated contamination Zambezi River...
