Strengthening Kenya’s Flood Early Warning System – One Site at a Time
Strengthening Kenya’s Flood Early Warning System – One Site at a Time Under the TEMBO Africa Project, KenGen, the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority (KMSA), and TAHMO have completed a joint site survey across the Seven Forks Cascade (Kenya’s principal hydropower system), to identify optimal locations for new TAHMO Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), river gauges, and […]
The LocalDevices Technologies Story
The LocalDevices Technologies Story Three years ago, LocalDevices Technologies Zambia did not exist. There was no company. No registered business. No client list. Just a group of Zambian engineers and technicians working alongside Dutch environmental monitoring specialists Rainbow Sensing, and Swiss hardware producers’ Photrack installing cameras above rivers, running cables, troubleshooting connectivity in remote gorges, […]
Satellite Data Supporting Smarter Agricultural Decisions
Satellite Data Supporting Smarter Agricultural Decisions Sentinel-1 satellite data at 10m resolution can detect whether it rained on a specific farm field in Ghana enabling fairer, faster payouts for smallholder farmers enrolled in TEMBO Africa’s Germination Index Insurance. For smallholder farmers across sub-Saharan Africa, the difference between a successful planting season and a total crop […]
A First for Ghana: Turning Mobile Phone Signals into Near-Real Time Rainfall Maps.
A First for Ghana: Turning Mobile Phone Signals into Near-Real Time Rainfall Maps. Across much of sub-Saharan Africa, reliable rainfall data remains scarce. Conventional rain gauge networks are sparse, and where they do exist, they often lack the spatial coverage needed to capture the high variability that characterises rainfall across the region. This gap has […]
Measuring river flow in Lusaka, Zambia
Measuring river flow in Lusaka, Zambia Testing camera-based monitoring in Lusaka Measuring river flow is essential for water management and flood forecasting. However, traditional methods often require entering the river, which can be difficult and unsafe, especially during high flow conditions. Within TEMBO Africa, field installations in Zambia explored how cameras can be used to […]
