Niche-breadth of freshwater macrophytes occurring in tropical Southern African rivers predicts species global latitudinal range
(Elsevier, 2016)The study tested the hypothesis that measurement, using multivariate Principal Components Analysis (PCA), of the niche-breadth of river macrophyte species in southern tropical Africa, may predict their larger-scale ... -
Understanding sediment process in the Magoye reservoir of Southrn Province Zambia
(ARIPD, 2017-06-01)Reservoir sedimentation is one of the problems facing managers of small reservoirs (with ≤5m height of embankment). The main methods used to understand sedimentation process in the Makoye reservoir included sediment ... -
Learning for climate change adptation among selected communities of Lusaka Province in Zambia
(AJOL, 2017-09-03)This research was aimed at surveying perceptions of climate change and educational themes that would be contextually relevant for climate change adaptation. It locates within the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific ... -
Bathymetry of the Makoye reservoir and its implications on water security for livestock within the catchment
(International Journal of Geography and Geology, 2019)The objectives of the study were to: determine bathymetry of the reservoir; understand seasonal hydrological regimes of the reservoir; determine factors influencing reservoir bathymetry and, examine the implications of the ... -
Effects of Sedimentation on small reservoirs in the Mushibemba catchment, Mkushi farm block, Central Zambia
(Journal of Geography and Geology;, 2019)Sedimentation is one of the problems that affects the storage capacity of most small reservoirs, and if not addressed on time it may lead to the dams being filled up with sediment. The aim of this study was to assess the ... -
Bathymetry of Makoye reservoir and its implications on water security for livestock within the catchment
(Conscientia Beam, 2019-09-01)The objectives of the study were to: determine bathymetry of the reservoir; understand seasonal hydrological regimes of the reservoir; determine factors influencing reservoir bathymetry and, examine the implications of the ... -
Impacts on freshwater macrophytes produced by small invertebrate herbivores: afrotropical and neotropical wetlands compared
(Hydrobiologia, 2020)We compare invertebrate herbivory upon 13 macrophyte species in freshwater wetland systems located in two global ecozones, the Afrotropics and Neotropics, in the context of biotic and environmental factors influencing these ... -
Reflexive debate on use of philosophy in scienctific research
(ARC, 2020-06-01)How should philosophy be used in scientific research? is the question addressed in this paper. The aim of this desktop research was to critically contribute to the already ongoing debate around the use of philosophy ... -
A review of coupled hydrologic-hydraulic models for floodplain assessments in africa: opportunities and challenges for floodplainwetland management
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute(Hydrology), 2021)Floodplain wetlands are a fundamental part of the African continent’s ecosystem and serve as habitat for fish and wildlife species, biodiversity, and micro-organisms that support life. It is generally recognised that ...
