- ItemThe aim of this study is to compile a water account system in order to organise water information in a more efficient and consistent data collection system for Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) for the financial year 2009. It further analyses the handbook of the system of Environmental accounting for water(SEEAW), specifically looking at the physical water supply and use tables(PSUT) and how it applies in building the PSUT(University of Zambia, 2011) MAKAYI, BENThe aim of this study is to compile a water account system in order to organise water information in a more efficient and consistent data collection system for Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) for the financial year 2009.

- ItemDevelopment of the Regional Policy Process for Air Pollution in South Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-01-01) Hicks, W.Kevin; Kuylenstierna, Johan C. I.; Mathur, Vikrom; Mazzucchelli, Sergio; Burijson, Viviana; Shrestha, Surendra; Iyngararasan, Mylvakanam; Simukanga, Stephen; Van Tienhoven, A.MiekeProjections indicate that large increases in emissions may occur in developing countries during the next twenty to fifty years if current development patterns persist. This paper describes the development of co-operation regarding air pollution issues in three sub-regions of three continents. Experiences gained through activities within a programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries are used to illustrate progress. The sub-regional process in South Asia developed through a series of meetings that led to the Malé Declaration. In southern Africa a policy dialogue led to the Harare Resolution targeted towards progress in the SADC region. A policy dialogue in Buenos Aires concentrated on issues related to regional harmonisation of legal frameworks in the Mercosur region. In all regions the link between scientific information required to support decision making has been emphasised. The sub-regional policy processes are analysed in relation to availability of required scientific information and compared to the process that led to protocol development in Europe.

- ItemThe impact of implementating the D-Washe programmes in Chanyanya Community: Kafue District, Zambia: What role has the National Water Policy played?(University of Zambia, 2011) KANYAMUNA, B. M.This study looked at the impact of implementing D-Washe programmes in Chanyanya Community in Kafue District. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative methods of research to give general and actual overviews of the water and sanitation situation in Chanyanya Community Results from the study suggested that sanitation facilities in Chanyanya Community were adequate and many (27%) people opted to use open defecation (OD) to answer the call of nature. This has been seen as a source of contamination of unprotected surface water sources such as shallow wells. The lack of proper sanitary facilities has been seen to have negative impacts on human health hence measures should be put in place to improve the situation.
