Short summary
Channel transmission losses play a significant role in the water balance of the Limpopo River Basin, therefore understanding loss processes and quantifying the impact on water resources is integral for advancing knowledge and improving water resource management. Using three functions of the Pitman Model, loss simulations were conducted and results indicate that all three functions are able to simulate losses,albeit with differing magnitudes. Better quantification requires reliable observed data.
