Zimbabwe – March 29th, 2013

Rainfall around Lake Kariba (lower left quadrant), in Zimbabwe, is decreasing at a rate of 0.63 mm per year, while evaporation rates have increased by 31% at an average rate of 2.77 mm per year since 1963. Also, the temperatures around the Kariba area have been rising since 1964. All these climatic factors have led to decreasingly water levels and nutrients, and consequently to a decrease in the lake’s fish population (click here for more information).
