📌Kariba Dam🇿🇼👌🔥

Kariba Dam

The Kariba Dam is the largest dam in zambia and one of the largest in the world. It is located on the Zambezi River, which forms the border between Zambia 🇿🇲 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

The dam was constructed between 1955 and 1959, with the co-operation of both countries. The dam is a double curvature concrete arch dam, measuring 128 m high and 579 m long. The dam created Lake Kariba, which is 280 kilometres long and holds 185 cubic kilometres of water. The lake is the largest artificial lake in the world by volume. The dam has a hydroelectric power station that generates 1,626 megawatts of electricity, which is shared by Zambia 🇿🇲 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

The dam also supports fishing, tourism, and wildlife conservation activities. It lies 1,300 km upstream from the Indian Ocean, along the border.
