Opis

The author focuses on the water situation in Zimbabwe and how it affects sustainable development. The biodiversity of Zimbabwe depends on water. The national economy depends on it. Water flows through every economic sector in the country: agriculture, energy, industry, mining, tourism, and fisheries. The country shares trans-boundary watercourses with neighbouring countries, such as Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, and South Africa, among others. Utilization of trans-boundary waters to augment Zimbabwe's internal water needs requires cooperation and coordination with its neighbours through the "Revised Protocol on Shared Watercourses" that Zimbabwe is Party to the water situation in Zimbabwe and how it affects sustainable development.

O autorze

Moyo, Tendai Gracious
There are many refinements of monitoring and the allocation of water which are needed such as ensuring that environmental flows are catered for in catchment plans and are then provided for in practice. Enforcement of laws and regulations is generally ineffective, and there is a lack of collaborative effort to ensure that the environment is protected.
