One of southern Africa’s biggest tourist attractions has seen an unprecedented decline this dry season

Victoria Falls, on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, has slowed down to a trickle after an unprecedented decline in water levels, officials have said. Data from the Zambezi River authority showed water flow at its lowest since 1995, and well under the long-term average.

Old photo at the end of the dry season. Happens to a greater or lesser degree every year

Wake up, learn some geography before reprinting erroneous facts Fuel type fake news diatribes from certain people. The hydroelectric plants on Zambezi are downstream! Not upstream as repeatedly reported here, & by lazy Thompson Reuters stringers. Just look at the map! Duh

Please correct the error where you state that Kariba is upstream of the Falls. Might seem petty but accuracy matters

Man's specialization in science will end this planet.

Shocking picture of an iconic place, the Victoria Falls, telling us that we urgently need Peace with Nature. Reminding me of a depressing helicopter flight over a shrinking Lake Chad a few years ago. Only 10 percent remains of the rich and mighty Lake Chad of the 1950ies.

I visited South Africa and the Victoria Falls in February this year and the River and falls were flowing well then. Had a helicopter flight over the falls and spectacular.

Yesterday a man tweeted he was about to lose his house in the fires. He sais the fires were the Greens fault and he also said he didn’t believe the fires were caused by climate change. 😑

What a sad picture! I can only imagine the plight of the ecosystem the Zambezi river supports downstream and upstream. A Dry and Parched Earth is a really frightening prospect!

god damn white men
