Adapted reservoir management in the Zambezi river basin to meet environmental needs

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

Anumber of major hydropower schemes have been developed in the lambezi river basin to ensure astable energy output. Although this main objective is well met, there is considerable scope to optimize operation of the plants. This paper presents the results o ...

Accurate drainage network extraction and monitoring in a high-mountain catchment

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Raphaël Mutzner

We study the accuracy of channel network extraction methods obtained in two subcatchments of an alpine watershed in Switzerland and compare the results to the ones obtained with the real network, carefully monitored with a high precision DGPS during Summer ...

Geomorphic Signatures on Brutsaert Base Flow Recession Analysis: case study of 27 Swiss catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Enrico Bertuzzo, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner, Serena Ceola, Ludovico Nicotina

Recession flow analysis are crucial in many areas of water resource management and useful to forecast base flow in gauged rivers. Moving from a classical recession curve analysis method, a large set of recession curves has been analyzed from Swiss streamfl ...

Comparison and evaluation of satellite derived precipitation products for hydrological modeling of the Zambezi River Basin

Anton Schleiss, Théodora Cohen Liechti

In the framework of the African DAms ProjecT (ADAPT), an integrated water resource management study in the Zambezi Basin is currently under development. In view of the sparse gauging network for rainfall monitoring, the observations from spaceborne instrum ...

Impact of a large tropical reservoir on riverine transport of sediment, carbon, and nutrients to downstream wetlands

Alfred Johny Wüest, Bernhard Wehrli

Large dams can have major ecological and biogeochemical impacts on downstream ecosystems such as wetlands and riparian habitats. We examined sediment removal and carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) cycling in Itezhi-Tezhi Reservoir (ITT; area = 36 ...

Sediment accumulation and carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus deposition in the large tropical reservoir Lake Kariba (Zambia/Zimbabwe)

Alfred Johny Wüest, Bernhard Wehrli

Large dams affect the aquatic continuum from land to ocean by accumulating particles and nutrients in their reservoirs. We examined sediment cores to quantify sediment, organic carbon (OC), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) accumulation, and to examine his ...

Analysis of flow regime changes due to operation of large reservoirs on the Zambezi River

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

The Zambezi Basin, a semi-arid 1.4 Mio km2 catchment area spreading across eight countries, constitutes a highly complex system. With several large dams, namely Kariba, Cahora Bassa, Kafue Gorge and Itezhi-Tezhi, the basin’s hydrology is also influenced by ...
