Maputo has a tropical Savanna climate, and the weather varies according to the two climatic seasons of the region: summer and winter.
The most relevant aspect about Maputo climate is the accentuated annual variability in precipitation. The period between October and April presents rainy and hot weather summer while the months from April to September are cold and dry winter. The average annual precipitation is around mm, the maximum average monthly rainfall occurs in January Southwest winds prevail in the summer while Northwest winds are predominant during the winter.
In southern coastal zones of Mozambique, storms occur in the form of meteorological events characterized by intense wind and precipitation, usually associated with the passage of tropical cyclones, typically category 4.
Climatic characteristics, as well as other biophysical features, intensify the occurrence of other extreme events, such as floods and cyclones. The average monthly temperature is quite stable with an average annual rate of about The annual average relative humidity is The total area corresponds to about Km 2.
According to PEUMM [3] — Plano de Estructura Urban do Municipio de Maputo — Regulation, the space allocated to the Ecological System in the Municipality of Maputo is constituted by a set of green areas, as far as possible continuous or interconnected and integrated with the urban space to secure the biological systems functions, regulate atmospheric flows, water runoff from rainfall and the bi-chromatic comfort.
These areas also contribute to the quality of urban space offering suitable places for recreation and leisure. The ecological system of the Municipality of Maputo covers an area of around 6,ha excluding structural urban green areas distributed in the following categories:.
In the Municipality of Maputo, the following classes of natural habitats predominate:. The rapid transformation of the territory of Maputo Municipality, verified in the last decades, presents a difficult challenge to spatial planning, and to sustainable physical planning of the city.
In developed urban areas, population density is 8, ha , characterized by single-family residential typology with lack of infrastructure. There are extensive areas in need for proper planning, that is, areas that lack of legal certainty of use, demarcation and registration in the municipal register; a situation that makes it difficult for users to access services such as water and energy distribution networks, rainwater runoff.
Lack of building control is leading people who are occupying these spaces to densify the number of families per plot. Industrial activities, storage facilities and workshops occupy approximately hectares. Ecological System zones occupy a third of the municipal land, with emphasis on areas in KanYaka and KaTembe.
This classification includes wet and flood-prone areas 3, ha , wetland areas with Areas of natural vegetation shrub-lands , mainly in KaTembe and KanYaka, form 5, ha. Parks and gardens extend over ha, of which Areas destined for public services and facilities, including community services health, educational, cultural, sports, religious services, etc.
Residential areas represent approximately a third of the total land use activities in Maputo. Large tracts of land are devoted to single-family dwellings settled in unplanned urban environments driven by an extensive urban sprawl that lacks basic infrastructure and public services. Mozambique undertook its last census in August Since independence, the country has carried out three population censuses — in , and Based on projections from the census, the INE — the National Statistics Institute -, estimates the current population is The country is still overwhelmingly rural, with According to the latest data from the INE , there are now over 1.
The population of the city has grown enormously. In it had , residents, rising to , in Men are now living to an average age of For women, the increase in life expectancy is even greater, rising from 59 a decade ago to One of the main challenges facing the city is the lack of space for new housing for young adults, who represent a major part of the population.
As a result, young married couples are opting to build houses in the outer zones of the city. Mozambique is the 97th largest export economy in the world and the 97th most complex economy according to the Economic Complexity Index ECI. During the last five years the exports of Mozambique have increased at an annualized rate of 5. Literature shows that salinity can regulate the nutrient cycle in mangrove estuarine ecosystems affecting the early life stages in these habitats which sustain the economically important shrimp stocks.
The freshwater flow into Maputo Bay is for a part controlled by dam systems on its main rivers. In this work we investigate how varying flows from the Incomati and Maputo rivers interact with the tide to influence the evolution of the bay's salinity field. A 3-dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to Maputo Bay, improving a previously published model through vertical and temporal refinement and recalibration, leading to a more accurate representation of the semidiurnal and fortnightly stratification-mixing cycles occurring during the wet season.
However, the model still predicts salinities lower than those found in observations. An analysis showed that uncertainties in the salinity field increased towards the mouth of the Maputo River indicating the uncertainty of the modeled flow at the catchment as a possible cause of the underestimation of salinity in the bay. A set of experiments of varying Maputo and Incomati river flows show that for a flow as frequent as 5 times per year, the buoyancy input and the associated density driven flow contributed less than the tide in forcing the bay-shelf exchange.
The inverse is observed for results where a flow with a 5-year return period leads to a more efficient bay-shelf exchange during neap tides than during spring tides. For this scenario, the results suggest that the estuarine plume was arrested inside the bay by tidal stirring during spring tide and released during neap tide when tidal stirring was subdued. The analysis of the separate and joint effects of the two rivers in setting the salinity field in Maputo Bay show a difference in extent of influence area between the rivers.
These results suggest that the management of the freshwater inflow from the Maputo River can be crucial for maintaining lower salinities over parts of the bay to sustain the economically important marine resources.
