Constantia Estates, A4, Chivhu, Zimbabwe

Updated: Jul 12, 2021

Constantia Estates is a large-scale livestock farm located in central zimbabwe. GIX produced two separate maps to cater to individual problems the estate was facing.


The Right-hand map displays elevation data overlayed with rivers, dams, and roads. These types of maps are incredibly useful for running simulations (rainfall, flooding, overload, etc). In this particular case using rainfall data and drainage basin simulations, GIX determined the optimum placement for another larger dam making with a much greater catchment potential.


The Left-hand map displays the farm's road and fireguard network. The information displayed is vital when it comes to identifying areas that are at risk and assists in planning and mitigation strategies.

this map was used to plan two new dams and using rainfall data in conjunction with dranage basin simulations calculate estimated volumes of flow and dam load.
