One of the important projects within the Environment Program is that entitled: Decision Support Systems for Managing Large International Rivers. Funded by the Ford Foundation, UNEP, and CNRS France, the project includes two case studies focused on the Danube and the Zambezi river basins.
The author was assigned the task of reviewing the published literature on water management issues in the Zambezi river basin, and related ecological questions. This paper includes a large number of references and, more importantly, synthesizes the various studies and provides the scientific basis for investigating a very complex set of management issues. This review will be a basic reference for further water management studies in the Zambezi river basin
