LAKE LEVELS

The Kariba Lake was created and designed to operate between levels 475.50m and 488.50m with 0.70m freeboard at all time

 

The lake level at Kariba was relatively stable throughout the week.  It appears the inflows are now equal to the outflows, hence making the level to oscillate around 484.48m for most days of the week. All spillway gates at Kariba are closed.

 

In terms of live storage, that is, storage available for power generation at Kariba, the lake was 66% full on 29th January 2012.
