THE ZAMBEZI RIVER DELTA AND ITS CHANGES DUE TO RESERVOIR CONSTRUCTION
Abstract
History of theZambeziRiverdelta development and investigation is analyzed. Delta transformation due to construction of large reservoirs within the river basin is described. Basing on the results of space imagery interpretation the delta morphology was studied and the map of the actual state of ecosystems was compiled. Maps of ecosystem transformation due to river flow regulation were also compiled for particular parts of the delta.
