Update On The Hydrological Outlook At Kariba Dam
Lusaka, 19 th March 2024 – The Zambezi River Authority (the Authority) hereby wishes to provide an update on the hydrological outlook in respect of the Kariba Catchment and the water levels at the Kariba Dam as follows: Zambezi River Flows at Chavuma
From the last update provided on 6th March 2024, the river flows at Chavuma gauging station, the first gauging station located in the North-Western province of Zambia which measures river flows as the Zambezi River enters Zambia from Angola have been increasing slowly. The slow increase has been occasioned by reduced rainfall activity in the headwaters of the Zambezi River. The recorded flows are trending below the flows recorded during the same period last year and are also significantly below the average flows for the station.
