*ZESA Clarifies On Live and Dead Water In Lake Kariba* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?id According to the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), a subsidiary of ZESA Holdings, not all the water stored in Lake Kariba is available for power generation. This entails that power generation will come to a halt when a certain level is reached because there is live water and dead water. Part of a statement released by ZPC reads: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

These intakes were designed at a certain depth, about 13 metres below the maximum water level. They were not located at the bottom in order to avoid ingress of mud which would clog the generation facilities. > This means that only a certain amount of Lake Kariba water is accessible for power generation, and this is known as live water. > If the water levels go below the water intake pipes there is no way to access water for power generation, thus, water below the intakes is referred to as dead water. > Dead water is not usable for power generation but is used for other activities such as fishing and recreation. > The drop in water levels at Lake Kariba has necessitated a reduction of water allocation to ZPC and ZESCO, hence, reducing their generation capacity in an effort to ensure electricity generation till the next rainy season. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
