Can Groundwater Sustain The Future Development Of Rural Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe occupies a tectonically stable plateau underlain by ancient Precambrian crystalline basement rocks. TheseĀ form a central craton bounded by east-west trending mobile belts; the Zambezi mobile belt to the north and the Limpopo mobile belt to the south. Zimbabwe receives generally low and variable quantities of seasonal rainfall within a semi-arid to savannah type climate characterised by moderate to high temperatures.
