    Abstract: Experimental studies are carried out in a two-dimensional wave flume (21.3 m long, 0.76 m wide and 0.74 m deep) to investigate the performance of rectangular type submerged breakwater. A set of experiments are carried out at 50 cm still water depth with fixed submerged breakwaters of three different heights (30 cm, 35 cm and 40 cm) for five differe... Show More

    Abstract: Condition factor, sexual maturity and length-weight relationship of 1132 Oreochromis niloticusinhabiting the hypereutrophic Lake Chivero in Zimbabwe were studied. Fish samples were collected through gill netting and from selected commercialfisheries around the lake from February - November 2011. Comparative analysis of age and size at maturity reve...

    Abstract: Windhoek, Namibia’s capital has experience for more than 25 years of novel approaches in integrated water management largely driven by the scarcity of water in the area. Notably absent in their approaches however, is the rooftop rainwater harvesting which is regarded as one of the viable alternative sources of water for domestic use. This paper ass... Show More
