| Abstract | A diagnostic study of the Kafue Basin, Zambia, was carried out in order to identify a set of water resource management options for a basin currently under stress. A physical framework for the Kafue Basin was established and principal subcatchments and hydrogeological subsystems identified. Current water resources issues in the basin are discussed and a multiobjective approach is proposed to allow intersectoral competition for the basin?s limited water resources to be reconciled. |
