Improved Zambezi River Flows Boost Hopes for Power and Water Security
Written by Staff Reporter on December 30, 2025
Zimbabwe and Zambia are looking to the new year with renewed optimism following signs of improved water flows along the Zambezi River.
Speaking during the 43rd Ordinary Council of Ministers Meeting of the Zambezi River Authority in Victoria Falls yesterday, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Energy and Power Development, Honourable July Moyo, said recent hydrological data shows river flows are significantly higher than those recorded at the same time last year.
Minister Moyo said readings from Nana’s Farm and the Victoria Falls gauging station point to a promising rainfall season ahead, raising hopes for improved water availability and stronger energy security in both countries.

He noted that the positive development comes at a critical time, as Zimbabwe and Zambia continue working together to manage shared water resources, particularly Lake Kariba, which plays a key role in regional power generation.
The improved outlook is expected to support ongoing efforts to stabilise electricity supply and strengthen cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.
