Recent rains that fell in the Southern Region did not register much change in Masvingo’s major dams as evidenced by dam level statistics released by the Zimbabwe National Water Authority.
Whilst most of the dams’ levels in the Runde Catchment had not receded much from last rainy season, there was no significant change from the nearly two weeks of rain experience across the region.
Two of Masvingo’s biggest lakes, Tugwi Mukosi and Mutirikwi, which are still at 92.72 percent and 92.83 percent full respectively both had a slight decrease of -0.15 and -0.85 percent respectively.
Manjirenji, Gozho, Makonese and Muzhwi dams were 100 percent full as at November 14 2022, with very slight changes from October 24 2022, which was before the onset of the rains.
In March 2022, ZINWA confirmed that most of the province’s major dams were over spilling despite low rainfall that was being experienced at that time.
