Wow the good old Europeans to the rescue. Thank you !

[@maxnator]

doing for free? No.

[@Petri_Pennala]

@vre7474I cant think of any benefit to Finland from this

[@moosesnWoop]

China would have done it in one year. Europeans can't build shit.

As the diagram shows the mighty Zambezi is still eroding towards the European concrete

[@philtucker1224]

@@Petri_PennalaThere will be plenty. You just haven’t found out yet.

A Job well done and on time. Thanks to those who contributed....

[@brucehansen5541]

Thank you for an amazing uTube on this very important project. I wish I could have contributed to this work. Thank you to Zambezi River Authority, Zimbabwe Government, Zambian Government, Global Gateway and the EU for recognizing the risk the dam posed to the people of the area and doing such a spectacular job of mitigating it. I don't agree that this is the first project of this type undertaken in the world. In about 1980 there was a similar problem at Kyle dam in Zimbabwe we attempted similar rehabilitation work there. I am concerned about the safety of other dams in Zimbabwe, I left the Ministry of Water Development there in 1981 together with 41 other engineers and technicians who all left in a 2 month period. I think many other dams in the country may be posing a safety risk and I would be reassured to know that safety inspections and rehabilitation work was been done on the many beautiful dams in the country.

Such a beautiful place. I was fortunate to spend a couple of days on that amazing lake in 2006.

[@brianmckelvin2504]

A wonderful project. Well done and thanks for the update video .

[@ndirangugichuki6260]

I hope that the plunge pool repair works. I'd like to visit Lake Kariba.

[@avriljenifersexton912]

I know a much more better and the most beautiful dam in the world called the Hoover Dam in Nevada that holds the Colorado river

[@joshuaponga4511]

Great documentary 👏🔥

[@garthrichert5256]

Here we go again. Old Roberts crew left a hole that the begging bowl has had to fill.

[@artoswr]

Aah so this is what i saw June 2023, was disappointed to find contruction plant and material on the dam. However this indeed is a great project, good news of no fatalities or injuries compared to the initial construction of the Kariba Dam

[@hermansplombaard9089]

I wonder!...Why would they not also..... fill the splash pool with the greatly proven "Dolosh" that has greatly proven itself in South African coastal regions... I think...that filling the extended "Splashpool" with these "Doloshes" would greatly Act as a breakwater...thus Reducing, erosion and further incalfing of the splaspool! #HermanLombaard

[@michaelbowes9894]

That scouring effect was known about when the dam was built and it was thought it that it must be done in about 30 years. . But of course no provision was made and whaddyou know? The Mlungus came to the rescue.

[@multipurposeyard6119]

Informative. Thank you

[@casparelbers9360]

why was there no spillway?

[@philtucker1224]

That is one of the spillways. Watch the start of the video again.

[@quickrealroad]

I wonder if the dam will ever overflow again. The water is being consumed faster than it can be stored.

[@sleepydoctor4344]

I think that's from drought and global warming

[@faraigamira]

can you siphon water from the ocean into the lake?

[@chrispalmer9952]

Not sure if it is true or not..... but i heard that the guy who designed or built Kariba dam killed himself because one of his other dams collapsed. I'd be relocating the people down river..... the people of Mozambique will suffer terribly when this dam collapses. The Mighty Zambezi will be reunited again, as foreseen.

[@dun8410]

I have another Idea, 😂😂😂😂 Why not extend the Sluice Gates another 50 to 100 metres.

[@pierios826]

It will cause another plunge pool , erosion will eventually move backwards again causing the same problem, by creating a path for the water in the new plunge pool it will just move the water forward. A lot of Calculating goes into this it's not just that simple.

[@gamainmagagula5010]

Same effect will happen, dude over wider area

[@philtucker1224]

Why would that change the situation? - you are just extending the potential damage area. The eroded base of the dam foundations needed immediate reinforcements.

[@ww5302]

When European countries were building dams around the world Chinese and Russian were using nafta lamps and running on donkeys wagons.....

[@Batshite_crazy]

I'm sorry but what point are you trying to make European countries had the biggest economys in the world at this time

[@ww5302]

@Batshite_crazy my point was that I have read a lot of criticism about Europeans building lousy dams or other projects in Africa ( suggesting rasizm..) and now Africans are forced to pay and repair it.....

[@Batshite_crazy]

@@ww5302 You do realize this dam produces huge amounts of electricity for both countries on either side alongside massive amounts of water Then there's a fact this reservoir creates a micro climate and helps maintain the area as being green Next of these two countries asked for independence but even so the world bank and European nations are the ones paying and designing repairs not either of the countries it's in It's design is revolutionary for it's time so maybe do more research and learn about a topic before complaining about it And please don't pull the race card that's bs considering the slaughter of shite people in Africa being done

[@ww5302]

@Batshite_crazy do you realize how wrongly You read my post. I have been at that lake, I have posted that people blames whites for building shabby and lousy jobs because they were for Africans and now Africans are stuck with the bill. I stated that when whites were building those ( advanced) projects for Africa in China and Russia people were transporting and traveling in donkey wagons. I have been in India where whites British buld the moust advanced and developed rails systems in the world and that was 80 years ago !!!! Do you know that British buld in England power generators and transport to Victoria Falls ( Rhodesia) and buld the biggest power plant at that time 90 years ago. At that time, moust electricity in Eastern European countries and in China was un known think. Read comments before mine comments!!! Readers were blaming whites, that this dam was buld bad , because it was for black people. ....

Just make a better dam

[@philtucker1224]

Dam Technology is always improving. Thankfully all the time we have fresh personnel (like yourself) willing to become skilled civil engineers, we will prevail.

[@Pandagirly1234]

Dan was designed and build by Europeans and they now fixing their bad design mistake and Africans have to pay again. No such problems with Chinese and Russian designed and build dams in Africa

[@Karen-ig6bp]

How old are you sweety? Please do some proper research.

[@philtucker1224]

Some countries invest in these projects to gain political sway in the various regions in the future.

And it is a DAM
