The University of Western Cape has been conducting compilation of basin wide lithology based aquifer mapping in the Zambezi River Basin (ZRB). Various spatial data are obtained
from the public domain of SADC-GMI platform to be used in the data curation, checking, correction as well as further spatial data analyses.
A regional geology map is recreated with corrected spatial attributes of the lithology groups, which are produced on the basis of rock composition, chronostratigraphy as well as porosity
class (primary or secondary). The aquifer classification is then created mainly based on the lithology clustering and incorporates aquifer parameters related to hydraulic properties including groundwater storage as well as aquifer transmissivities.
