Victoria Falls is experiencing the largest volume of water in 70 years right now.

On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia (with 75% of the best views only visible from Zimbabwe), the falls are the largest curtain of falling water in the world.

Early sowing maximized pearl millet yields in semi-arid Namibia. A landrace outperformed an improved genotype when sown early, while the improved type was more stable under late sowing, challenging assumptions about landrace productivity.

Harnessing Earth Observation to Transform Water Monitoring and Management in Africa

[On screen] Prof Timothy Dube, a global leader in geospatial science and the Director of the Institute for Water Studies at the University of Western cape. In a nation and a continent where water security is paramount, Prof Dube’s work is nothing short of revolutionary.

He stands at the powerful confluence of environmental science and deep tech, leveraging satellite remote sensing, machine learning, and cloud-based big data analytics to transform how we monitor and manage Africa's water. This is the 4IR in action: using immense computational power and AI to generate actionable intelligence from the skies, providing a lifeline for our semi-arid regions.

As an adviser to the United Nations University and a recipient of the prestigious NSTF–Water Research Commission Award, he is ensuring that African solutions, built on African data, are leading the global conversation on climate resilience and water security.
