Victoria Falls shrink to a trickle, feeding climate change fears

VICTORIA FALLS, Zambia - For decades Victoria Falls, where southern Africa’s Zambezi river cascade down 100 metres into a gash in the earth, have drawn millions of holidaymakers to Zimbabwe and Zambia for their stunning views.

“In previous years, when it gets dry, it’s not to this extent. This our first experience of seeing it like this,” Dominic Nyambe, a seller of tourist handicrafts in his 30s said outside his shop in Livingstone, on the Zambian side. Zimbabwe and Zambia have suffered power cuts as they are heavily reliant on hydropower from plants at the Kariba Dam which is on the Zambezi river upstream of the waterfalls.

Thus misplaced facts and just trying to get attention, the seasons vary and on the Zimbabwean side there's always water, Zambia always go through dry season avert year and this documentary is uncalled for... Read your facts thoroughly before writing up lies

And the fact that it happens on a regular basis? noturbine

Yes, the drought is worse than normal, but there have been worse prior to 1995. The photos and video of the dried up falls are typically what you see every year during the dry season. There are plenty of old photos of the falls looking like this.

Wake up world.

As usual a lot of 'experts' contradicting the news because of their opinion. Not being able to read the article seems to be another thing they have in common.

It happens...get over it
