THE Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) says the heavy rains pounding the region have led to exponential rise in Lake Kariba water levels.
ZRA said from December 22, 2020 to January 18, 2021, water levels in the world’s largest man-made lake increased by 0,40 metres or 0,08%, thus pushing the lake level up by 3,21m above the minimum operating levels (MOL) of 475,50m.
This translates to 14,55 billion cubic metres of usable water storage.
In recent years, recurring droughts significantly reduced water levels, resulting in ZRA cutting water rations for electricity production.
This resulted in massive power cuts in Zimbabwe and Zambia the two countries which jointly manage the water body.
