The Kariba Dam supplies 1,626 megawatts (2,181,000 hp) of electricity to parts of both Zambia (the Copperbelt). and Zimbabwe and generates 6,400 gigawatt-hours (23,000 TJ) per annum. Each country has its own power station on the north and south bank of the dam respectively.
In 1955, it was decided to dam the Zambezi River at the Kariba Gorge to supply power to Zimbabwe and Zambia. Three years later and despite many difficulties, including record breaking floods, the Zambezi River was dammed and Lake Kariba began to form.
Kariba's reservoir volume is 185 billion m 3, the surface area covers about 5500km 2, and it extends for more than 280km, with a maximum width of 40kms. It is located just about halfway between the source and mouth of the Zambezi River, and is 200kms downstream of the Victoria Falls.

The Kariba Dam, Zambezi River. The Kariba dam is a double curvature concrete arch dam in the Kariba gorge of the Zambezi river basin between Zambia and Zimbabwe. At 128m tall and 579m long, the structure forms Lake Kariba - extending 280km and holding 185km³ of water.
The scheme supplies 1,626MW of electricity to Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each country has its own power station – one on the north bank and one on the south bank of the dam. The Kariba dam is jointly operated by Zambia and Zimbabwe through the Zambezi River Authority.
The pool is around 40m from the structure’s foundation. If it reaches the foundation, the dam is likely to give way. Kariba’s operators now only open 3 of the structure’s 6 floodgates at a time to stop the plunge pool increasing in size. Maintenance work to make the dam safe for the future is expected to be completed by 2023.
