A hydrologic and flood risk assessment to assess flood exposure of a new solar farm to current and future flooding. The proposed site sits on the banks of Lake Manyame, south west of Harare, bordered by a natural watercourse that runs through the township of Norton. Tasks included catchment delineation, IFD analysis, the development of a RORB hydrological model, assessment of critical storm durations, and TUFLOW hydraulic modelling.
