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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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