Ruaha River Flow Monitor

A river flow monitor tool to alert for extreme low river flow and zero flow using remote sensing. The Alerts allow for timely action to prevent or reduce the period of Zero flow in most of the Ruaha National Park. Zero-flow can have negative impact on domestic water supply, nature, in particular wildlife and economic activies and should be mitigated through negotiations between the water users. For Ruaha River (Tanzania) the Monitor will be active from April with the prediction of the first Zero Flow Event until the occurrence of the Rains.

Predictive Hydrological Models and Zero Flow

Predictive Hydrological Models and Zero Flow From the numerous models developed to address the zero flow in the Ruaha Park and to simulate the water balance on the Usangu Rice Plain, three hydrological models are selected for further assessment. A critical drainage flow from the Usangu Rice Plain, a treshold value which should not beContinue reading “Predictive Hydrological Models and Zero Flow”
