Abstract

Considering the Kariba Dam's current dangerous situation, our team primarily analyses the three available options, and then explores the effect from a system of dams to the Zambezi River.a Dam Site Selection Model(DSSM)is established by constructing two initial sub-models named Basic Location Model (BLM) and Optimized Addressing Model (OAM) respectively. In BLM, based on the principle of building dams at densely packed contours, we get a series of contour by Global Mapper and determine 25 original locations .In OAM, based on overall water management capabilities which framed by reservoir capacity and Dam Cost Equation which founded by Dam Geometries Equation, the position of the dam is a variable, by 0-1 Integer Programming , our team acquire the position coordinates of 15 dams.
