Watershed Mapping and Water Resources Management Prioritization for the Zambezi River Basin
| The World Bank supports the implementation of an integrated framework for development and management of water resources in Zambia. The project beneficiaries are rural communities who will benefit from improved small scale water resources infrastructure. In this context, the eoworld project provided the demonstration of advanced EO tools to assist in mapping of small water bodies in Southern Province of Zambia, as well as additional information products to assess water quality of Lake Malawi and erosion pattern in selected locations in Malawi’s Shire river basin. |
