I am not sure if this link I still open but wanted to point out that besides the waters of the Zambezi river being of value there is also what comes out of the river. I live in an area where sport fishing was a major tourism currency provider - we now see the river overtaken with netting and decimating of fish populations - it seems that the zambian government has tried to control this by bringing in a three month fishing ban on the zambian side for the months December to February but this year they have extended this to a six month ban. This is bringing huge animosity from the zambians against the zimbabweans, first because of the loss on the tourism side but also the loss of income to the farmers and dwellers along the river bank. Could the effects of this ban perhaps be researched in order to find a balance for us all to live along this beautiful river.
