Congratulations!! I am not an engineer, but I am interested in some aspects. Kariba Dam is the largest man-made dam (185 km3 of water). It is almost five times bigger than the Chinese Three Gorges Dam (38 km3). However, the Three-Gorges Dam has an installed capacity of 22,500 MW compared to Kariba's 1,626 MW (with the Zambia side). Is the difference only in terms of number turbines, Kariba has 14 compared to 34 and their capacity? What is the maximum that can be harnessed from Kariba, if financial resources were available (a simple matchbox calculation says 110,000 MW)?

This is excellent analysis. You always bring episode that challenges my African geography. Thank you for your passion on mother Africa. Mega dam indeed
Nice video. Another magnificent legacy of colonialism. Like the Victoria Waterfalls bridge. Btw, the Iguazu Waterfall is wider than the Victoria and has a much higher maximum flow rate. As for height, there are dozens if not hundreds that are higher. (I was a young boy when I visited the Kariba before it had even been filled for the first time and have visited Victoria several times.)

This is the problem with you Zambians. Kariba itself is located in Zimbabwe. If I ask you, do you have a town or place called Kariba on your side?
This is beautiful, I have always wanted to visit this place. Very informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for your detailed commentaries.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for some of the info that I did not know. Some people indeed sacrificed their lives for the enjoyment of others.

I will make visiting Kariba a goal in my life. With God 🙏 by my side.
Best of luck
This is beautiful ❤️❤️
Thanks for watching Joseph Sakala. We appreciate your comments always, accepts greetings from Edusplorer.

Kigali, Rwanda (0.56-0.58) as you introduce the video...why? So Kariba dam contributed to Kigali's rise?
This could never be build today with the corruption of Zimbabwe thanks to Mugabe! Long live Rhodesia!
Do your study it was built way before Mugabe this is Smith era
@@johnsontendai6573 of course it was done in the Ian Smith era! There hasn't been any infrastructure projects done in Zimbabwe since its creation!
@@johnsontendai6573 learn to read....
@@mrivucu Totally agree with you there...... when I was in Zimbabwe in 2012 and Mugabe was in power, Zimbabwe had $87usd in the back! Hahaha .....
KARIBA DAM-built,during RHODESIA (SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN RHODESIA, )
The Hoover Dam which harnesses the Colorado river is still the best of all dams

Thanks for the information but this is not Zambian accent

Extremely redundant. The aerial shot of the dam is shown at least 60 times in 13 minutes. So is everything else. Don't waste our time next time.
That’s some old footage 💀
What a hopeless video
I feel sorry for Batonka and all those poor animals.... this dam should have never been constructed..... in a few years, you will find out why......
Why?
