Influence of Hydropower Development on Flow Regime in the Zambezi River Basin for Different Scenarios of Environmental Flows

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Théodora Cohen Liechti

As the need for energy is increasing, the challenges in the future are to operate existing large hydraulic schemes in more sustainable ways and to develop future water resources projects that are able to achieve a better balance between environmental and s ...

Developing an open-source database for the Zambezi river basin

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Bernhard Wehrli

The Zambezi river basin, one of the largest in Africa, holds significant hydropower potential, which has yet tobe exploited. To make the most of this opportunity and address the challenges it poses, local Stakeholders must coordinate efforts, politically, ...

Hydrological modelling of the Zambezi River Basin taking into account floodplain behaviour by a modified reservoir approach

Anton Schleiss, Théodora Cohen Liechti, David Ferràs Segura

Floodplains are regions of great interest for environmental assessment as they constitute important ecological reserves and contribute efficiently to natural flood attenuation. However, the implementation of a model describing the basic hydrological behavi ...

Hydraulic-hydrologic model for the Zambezi River using satellite data and artificial intelligence techniques

José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The development of hydraulic-hydrologic models is a challenge in the case of large catchment areas with scarce or erroneous measurement data and observations. With his study Mr. Dr. José Pedro Matos made several original contributions in order to overcome ...

Pattern-oriented memory interpolation of sparse historical rainfall records

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Théodora Cohen Liechti

The pattern-oriented memory (POM) is a novel historical rainfall interpolation method that explicitly takes into account the time dimension in order to interpolate areal rainfall maps. The method is based on the idea that rainfall patterns exist and can be ...

Influence of dam operation on water resources management under different scenarios in the Zambezi River Basin considering environmental objectives and hydropower

Théodora Cohen Liechti

The hydropower potential in Africa is only very few exploited. The large rivers like Zambezi River still have considerable possibilities for installing further hydropower projects including the creation of reservoirs by large dams. The main African watersh ...
