Flood and hydrological analysis: Fish River Catchment
The Fish River catchment in Namibia is an area of concern to the Government as it is a flood prone area having registered very high floods, causing extensive damage to the town of Mariental and the irrigation schemes downstream of Hardap Dam. Measures needed to be put in place to curb further damage as the catchment undergoes its natural flood cycle. The system was modelled, and various mitigation measures were analysed and suggested for the area.

Application of Mike Customised Real Time for Flood Prediction in the Inkomati CMA
This pilot project was used to develop a flood prediction system for the IUCMA using the Mike Operations software. The system was successfully implemented and ran flood forecasts on the Crocodile river system in the Inkomati catchment. It contains a predictive hydrological model as well as a hydraulic model integrated into a real time operational framework.

Water Availability Assessment for the Lunsemfwa Catchment
In this project an analysis was performed to determine if there was enough water to support an irrigation scheme in the upper Lunsemfwa Catchment in Zambia. The project was being developed by Nordzuker. The analysis yielded significant impacts on downstream users including the Lunsemfwa hydropower scheme and infrastructure interventions to ameliorate yield impacts were considered too expensive to support the irrigation water requirements.
