  • Hydrometeorological research in South Africa : a review 
    Botai, Mihloti Christina; Botai, Joel Ongego; Muchuru, Shepherd; Ngwana, Isaac (MDPI Publishing, 2015-04-15)
    Water resources, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions of the world are of great concern, as they are closely linked to the wellbeing of humankind. Sophisticated hydrological prediction tools are required to assess ...
  • The hydrometeorology of the Kariba catchment area based on the probability distributions 
    Muchuru, Shepherd; Botai, Mihloti Christina; Botai, Joel Ongego; Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo (American Meteorological Society, 2015-04)
    In this paper, monthly, maximum seasonal, and maximum annual hydrometeorological (i.e., evaporation, lake water levels, and rainfall) data series from the Kariba catchment area of the Zambezi River basin, Zimbabwe, have ...
  • Prediction of inflows into Lake Kariba using a combination of physical and empirical models 
    Muchuru, Shepherd; Landman, Willem Adolf; DeWitt, David G. (Wiley, 2016-05)
    Seasonal climate forecasts are operationally produced at various climate prediction centres around the world. However, these forecasts may not necessarily be objectively integrated into application models in order to ...
  • Seasonal rainfall predictability over the Lake Kariba catchment area 
    Muchuru, Shepherd; Landman, Willem Adolf; DeWitt, David G.; Lotter, Daleen (Water Research Council, 2014-07)
    The Lake Kariba catchment area in southern Africa has one of the most variable climates of any major river basin, with an extreme range of conditions across the catchment and through time. Marked seasonal and interannual ...
  • Variability of rainfall over Lake Kariba catchment area in the Zambezi river basin, Zimbabwe 
    Muchuru, Shepherd; Botai, Joel Ongego; Botai, Mihloti Christina; Landman, Willem Adolf; Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo (Springer, 2016-04)
    In this study, average monthly and annual rainfall totals recorded for the period 1970 to 2010 from a network of 13 stations across the Lake Kariba catchment area of the Zambezi river basin were analyzed in order to ...
