The Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) through its Luangwa Catchment Office in Kabwe hosted final-year Civil Engineering students from Mulungushi University on a study visit aimed at enhancing practical understanding of water resources management in Zambia.
The visit provided students with exposure to WARMA’s operations and mandate in the management, protection, and regulation of water resources, with a focus on how engineering principles are applied within a regulatory and environmental context.
Key discussions covered sustainable infrastructure development, protection of water quality, responsible use of surface and groundwater resources, and the importance of compliance with water resources regulations in engineering projects.
The students were also introduced to how water resources management is implemented in practice, including planning considerations, resource management, and the integration of sustainability into decision-making processes.
WARMA continues to engage with academic institutions through such visits to bridge classroom learning with practical application and to strengthen the understanding of water governance among future engineers.
