What is the length of lake kariba found in Zimbabwe?

Answer 1

Length of Kariba Lake is 277 km.

Lake Kariba was formed by damming the Zambezi River. It lies on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, with an area of 5 364 km2, a length of 277 km and a mean depth of 29 m. Lake Kariba supports pelagic (offshore) and artisanal (inshore) fisheries. The pelagic fishery exploits the freshwater sardine (Limnothrissa miodon) known locally as kapenta. There are approximately 280 boats registered to fish in the pelagic fishery. The estimated annual catch in the inshore fishery in 2001 was 3 400 tonne. The inshore fishery contributed approximately 26% of the total catch from Lake Kariba."

Answer 2

The length of the lake Kariba is 282 kilometres long at full level and 32 kilometres across at it's widest.

Lake Kariba is an artificial inland sea that covers 282km² of the Zambezi Valley. It is the continent’s third largest dam after Aswan in Egypt and Cahora Bassa on the same river in neighbouring Mozambique.

Answer 3

lake kariba --

Lake Kariba is over 220 kilometers (140 mi) long and up to 40 kilometers (20 mi) in width. It covers an area of 5,580 square kilometers (2,150 sq mi) and its storage capacity is an immense 185 cubic kilometers (44.4 cu mi). The mean depth of the lake is 29 meters (95 ft); the maximum depth is 97 meters (320 ft). The enormous mass of water (approximately 180,000,000,000,000 kilograms, or 180 petagrams [200 billion tons]) is believed to have caused induced seismicity in the seismically active region, including over 20 earthquakes of greater than 5 magnitude on the Richter scale.

The lake is home to several islands, including Chete Island, Sekula and Chikanka.



Lake Kariba is a large, man-made lake and reservoir located on the Zambezi river, about halfway between the river's source and mouth, about 1300 kilometers upstream from the Indian Ocean. The lake lies along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Lake Kariba was filled between 1958 and 1963 following the completion of the Kariba Dam at its northeastern end, flooding a former gorge on the Zambezi River and displacing large numbers of the local Tonga people.

The Zimbabwean town of Kariba was built for construction workers on the lake's dam, while some other settlements such as Milbibezi in Zimbabwe and Siavonga and Sinazongwe in Zambia have grown up to house people displaced by the rising waters.
