After a testing summer period plagued with drought, one of nature’s greatest sights is looking healthy once again as Victoria Falls is now inundated with torrents of water.
The Zambezi River Authority said the levels haven’t just got back on track, but they’re now way above the seasonal average.
“The Zambezi River flows monitored at Victoria Falls rose from 349 m3/s at the start of January 2020 to 3,890 m3/s recorded on March 27 2020. Last year on the same date the recorded flow was 800 m3/s. The flows are now 54% above the recorded long-term average flow of 2,522 m3/s for this station.”
Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River in southern Africa, which provides habitat for several unique species of plants and animals. It is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and is considered to be the world’s largest waterfall due to its width of 1,708 metres.
