**1. Introduction**

This chapter has its significance in disaster reduction in an economically challenged flood disaster prone developing country. The lower Limpopo River basin of Mozambique is one of the basins in Southern Africa that have not been deeply studied in terms of application of extreme value statistics. The basin suffers from extreme natural hazards that alternate between extreme floods and severe droughts. A lot of geoscientific work aimed at short-term forecasts and flood warning systems has been done in the basin. The present study is intended to complement the geoscientific work in the basin through shifting attention to long-term forecasts.

The combination of these two approaches is hoped to go a long way towards disaster reduction and mitigation efforts in the basin.
