Near real time water quality monitoring of Chivero and Manyame lakes of Zimbabwe
(Copernicus Publications, 2018)
Zimbabwe’s water resources are under pressure from both point and non-point sources of pollution
hence the need for regular and synoptic assessment. In-situ and laboratory based methods of water quality monitoring
are ...
Factors influencing sustainability of communally-managed waterfacilities in rural areas of Zimbabwe
(Elsevier, 2017)
Sustainability of point water facilities is a major development challenge in many rural settings ofdeveloping countries not sparing those in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. This study was done inZimbabwe to investigate the ...
Spatial monitoring and reporting tool (smart) in mid-Zambezi valley, Zimbabwe: Implementation challenges and practices
(Wiley Open Access, 2021)
Biodiversity monitoring and data-management technologies can enhance the
protection of persecuted species, such as African elephants (Loxodonta africana), through providing management-relevant information. Implementing
these ...
Influence of multiple uses of water on the sustainability of communally-managed rural water supply systems in Zimbabwe
(IWA Publishing, 2021)
The utilisation of drinking water supply systems for productive uses is not a new practice in
Zimbabwe and the world over. This study sought to explore how multiple uses of water, in this case
community gardening as a ...
Effect of landscape pattern and spatial configuration of vegetation patches on urban warming and cooling in Harare metropolitan city, Zimbabwe
(Bellweather Publishing, 2021)
The spatial configuration of vegetation patches in the landscape has implications for the provision of ecosystem services, human adaptation to climate change, enhancement, or mitigation of urban heat island. Until recently, ...
Fine-scale multi-temporal and spatial analysis of agricultural drought in agro-ecological regions of Zimbabwe
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
This study utilised multi-temporal satellite data to characterize droughts across the five Agro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Zimbabwe at monthly, seasonal, sub-seasonal and annual scales (2000 to 2018) using a combination of ...
Investigating changes over time of annual rainfall in Zimbabwe
(Copernicus Publications, 2010)
There is increasing concern in southern Africa
about the possible decline of rainfall as a result of global
warming. Some studies concluded that average rainfall in
Zimbabwe had declined by 10% or 100 mm during the ...
Decorum in nature: Impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus) dung middens follow spatial point patterns in Mukuvisi Woodland, Zimbabwe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Guided by the Optimum Foraging Theory,the Avoidance Concept, and assuming that the impala Aepyceros melampus melampus defecate purposevely at dung middens, we hypothe-sized that the impala’s dung midden locations do not: ...
Decorum in nature: impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus) dung middens follow spatial point patterns in Mukuvisi Woodland, Zimbabwe
(Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2023)
Guided by the Optimum Foraging Theory,the Avoidance Concept, and assuming that the impala Aepyceros melampus melampus defecate purposevely at dung middens, we hypothesized that the impala’s dung midden locations do not: ...
Impacts of eco-environmental quality, spatial configuration, and landscape connectivity of urban vegetation patterns on seasonal land surface temperature in Harare metropolitan city, Zimbabwe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
The study examined the impact of eco-environmental quality conditions, spatial configurations and landscape connectivity of urban vegetation on seasonal land surface temperature (LST) in Harare, Zimbabwe between May and ...
