The Kariba Lake is designed to operate between levels 475.50m and 488.50m (with 0.70m freeboard) for hydropower generation.
The Lake level has continued rising steadily. It closed the period under review at 477.58m (14.44% usable storage) on 26th March 2020. Last year on the same date, the Lake level was much higher at 480.77m (37.58% usable storage).

The Zambezi and Kavango had reached their peaks in April and their levels subsided since. At the Namibian gauging station close to the town of Kasane in Botswana, the level of the Chobe stood at 6.77 m on 23rd April 2020. On the 29th April, 7.14 m were registered and on the 30th April 7.18 m. On the 3rd May 7.22 m were reported. This is a significant increase, since according to the Namibian Hydrological Services, the Chobe stood at only 1.2 m on the 21st January this year.
