Cabora bassa: Some preliminary physico-chemical and zooplankton pre-impoundment survey results

1. This paper outlines the preliminary results of physico-chemical analyses and the examination of the zooplankton of the Middle and Lower sections of the Zambezi in Mo\ccambique. Comparison is made with the pre-Kariba river in Rhodesia and water from Lake Kariba in 1965, indicating that the Middle Zambezi in Mo\ccambique is now richer in inorganic nutrients, possibly due to the enriching effects of both the Kariba and Kafue Dams. 2. The major changes in the Lower Zambezi occur under the enriching influence of the Chire River from Lake Malawi. © 1976 Dr. W. Junk b. v. Publishers.
