Zambezi river flow recedes amid reduced rainfall, El Niño
The river flows at Chavuma gauging station, the first gauging station located in the North-Western province of Zambia and which measures river flows as the Zambezi river enters Zambia from Angola, have been increasing slowly this month, says the Zambezi River Authority. The slow increase has been occasioned by reduced rainfall activity in the headwaters of the Zambezi river. The recorded flows are, however, trending far below the flows recorded during the same period last year and are also significantly below the average flows for the station.
