Tsumeb, located in the central northern part of Namibia has a long history of mining and smelting copper ores, dating back to the early 1900s. These activities have created a legacy of contamination in and around the town, which prompted the Namibian government to initiate various studies to establish levels of contamination and identify areas affected. It was found that the general distribution of Arsenic and other toxic metals in Tsumeb soils is higher closer to the smelter, trending towards the northwestern side of the smelter facility and Tsumeb Town. Recommendations were given to the Tsumeb Town Council to direct residential development to the southern and southwestern areas, where contamination does not reach critical levels, and to discontinue agricultural activities near the smelter, especially in the areas towards the northwest of this industrial complex. Building on these earlier investigations, the aim of the current project was to provide land use category maps, which will guide future development in and around Tsumeb.
