*ZESA Clarifies On Live and Dead Water In Lake Kariba* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?zj 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: ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- > Water intakes direct water from the lake into the station for power generation. 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. itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
