Abstract: | Lake Kariba, through which the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe cuts a swathe, was formed by the damming of the Zambezi at the Kariba Gorge between 1955 and 1958. It was filled in 1963, making it the third largest man-made lake in the world. The contributions in this collective volume examine the evolution of the lake over the last thirty years.
