Zambezi River Basin

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

With a basin covering 1.4 million km2, the Zambezi is the fifth largest drainage basin in Africa. Bounded by the 9°S and 21°S parallels, it is home to approximately 30 million people and is officially shared by eight riparian countries. The river stretches ...

Measuring Bedload Sediment Transport with an Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler

Koen Blanckaert, Joris Heyman

Acoustic Doppler velocity profilers (ADVP) measure the velocity simultaneously in a linear array of bins. They have been successfully used in the past to measure three-dimensional turbulent flow and the dynamics of suspended sediment. The capability of ADV ...
