Lake Kariba's drying waters: People in Zimbabwe affected by severe drought


Droughts caused by climate change have resulted in a significant drop in water levels on Lake Kariba

to the point where there is not longer enough water for hydropower generation.

Its a drought people, moreover lake kariba is in a part of Zimbabwe where its very dry, utilise google for those who are not zimbabweans, i’m in the earstern highlands in Nyanga Juliasdale and its not this dry at all, i was at osborne dam like three days ago and the levels are super high, i must admit though lower water levels at kariba have a considerable impact on our utility power, the thermal power stations at Hwange cannot meet the energy demand of the whole of Zimbabwe hence that hydro-power station at Kariba is super important for Zimbabwe, some areas in Zimbabwe are receiving more than 5 hours of loadshedding but we still have to appreciate and be thankful because some countries have it worse.

Zimbabwe and Zambia are better off with the Kariba dam than without. Really every dam location on the Zambezi should be developed. The lake is still a massive source of fresh water.

The drought will probably be blamed on the white farmers.

@leonhue722

Science and technology can be used to produce food in the face of adversity. Pity they chased the settlers away with their skills and intellect.
Oh well !

@dinkaman2160pukka

Al Jazeera new lows…………the reason the level is low because farmers up stream have been taking the fresh water, billions and billions of litres pumped out for farming, nothing to do with drought. Come on Al Jazeera, bring back some original journalism and stop peddling Bill Gates and Elon Musks climate change agenda.

@blackmaster999

Why don't African leaders channel water from the Congo River to countries in Southern Africa?
