Positive sustainability aspect
Environmental Flows
The Itezhi-tezhi reservoir was designed to provide hydropower and year-round security of water for the 900 MW Kafue Gorge hydropower scheme located downstream. The Itezhi-tezhi dam was designed with additional storage capacity to allow an annual flood release of 300 cumecs during March each year. This flood release recharges the ecologically important Kafue Flats area of floodplain swamp and marshland below the reservoir.
