The lake Kariba is a reservoir lake on the Zambezi basin. Its level has been dropping for the past year and a half.

The lake Kariba, in link with the drought which has affected the South of Africa is near its lowest level, with less than 10% usuable storage. The lake level and surface are monitored on Hydroweb (http://hydroweb.theia-land.fr/hydroweb/view/L_kariba?lang=en&basin=Zambezi&lake=kariba)
