A new satellite-based technology developed by scientists at the University of Zimbabwe monitors tracks water-flow following a rainfall event using satellite, predicting with some precision the likelihood of a flood within a day. The method produces a series of maps tracking the water flow following a rainfall event, including the flood's build up and recession.
With Paris on the horizon, African climate experts will meet for a crucial climate conference in Zimbabwe at the end of this month to map out measures to protect and enhance Africa’s development against extreme assaults from acts of nature, reports the Herald. This will be the 5th meeting of the Climate Change and Development Africa, an AU initiative...
Voluntary Commitments
