Low rainfall is a huge problem for the Zambizi River in Zambia. It affects water levels, food crops and electricity generation among other things. In Zimbabwe’s lake Kariba, for instance, there is approximately two months left of water for electricity generation. A prolonged drought also reduces crop production.
At Victoria falls, 500 miles away from Kariba Lake, the Zambian side shows an almost dry gorge. Water levels haven’t been this low since 1992 in the middle of a devastating drought. Even the fauna and flora are changing. The weather is at least partly to blame. The lack of rain has been “shocking,” according to park services personnel. The drought has diminished water resources so much that the mighty Zambizi River is much lower than normal.
Poor rainfall is being partly blamed for the low water levels in Lake Kariba. Some think that the low population of hippos is also playing a part. Hippos used to clear a way through channels in floodplains so that water drains back into the Zambizi River in May and June. But without the many hippos, which have been hunted for food, the channels have become overgrown and blocked and the water remains in the flood plains.
We are amid the perils of the last days, and trying times are before us. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain. Drought, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, casualties by sea and land, will multiply. Life will be unsafe anywhere, only as the life is hid with Christ in God. Now, while the angels are holding the four winds, is our opportunity to seek the Lord most earnestly. Manuscript Releases, Vol. 20, page 285
