Climate change in Zimbabwe

At night the streets in Beitbridge are mostly dark, except for the lights of a few passing cars, small shops and a few games of billiards. As a way to generate some side income families will purchase a pool table and charge $1 for seven games. Kariba Dam in the north of the country is the main generator of electricity for the country. After a year of little rainfall, the lake levels were as low as 12 percent capacity and the country, which used to export power, has had to start importing power. Power outages and rationing are common.
