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
levels at Kariba which have been rising in the past weeks, dropped by
0.07m during the week under review. This could be attributed to
increased generation levels and the subsiding of rainfall activity
during the week. The end of week level on 3rd February 2013 is
0.25m lower than what was recorded last year on the same date. All spillway gates at Kariba
remained closed during the week under review.
In
terms of live storage, that is, storage available for power generation
at Kariba, the lake was 64% full on 3rd February 2013.
