3
To provide stakeholders with information about the proposed project, the project environment and the ESIA process;
To gather information from the project area that can be used to inform project planning;
To assist in the identification of concerns and issues regarding the proposed project and the ESIA process;
To capture stakeholder comments and suggestions on alternatives;
To confirm issues identified in the public domain and ensure that where relevant these are investigated further through technical studies;

The Proposed Project and Rationale
4
Dam Safety concerns = motivation
Kariba Dam was constructed between 1956 and 1959
It supplies water to two underground hydropower plants located on the north (left) bank in Zambia and on the south (right) bank in Zimbabwe.
Jointly, the power stations have the capacity of 1,830 MW, once the new turbines have been installed in SB an addition 300MW will be produced =2,130MW
The dam and associated infrastructure are over 50 years old as such needs an upgrade of some essential hydro-electrical equipment.
The ZRA is proposing the reshaping and enlargement of the plunge pool and rehabilitation of the spillway gates

Safety Concern
Effect Prescribed Remedial Measures
2b General agingof the dam concrete:• Inability to close
sluice upstream in the event of gate failure (ieno emergency sluice closure)
Uncontrolledrelease of water Loss of power generation due to emptying of reservoir.

RISK OF INACTION (Consequences of Dam Failure)
Loss of power generation at Cahora Bassa andpossible loss of dam.
Failure of Cahora Bassa would compound the problem. Worst case scenario will be failure of Kariba and CahoraBassa when run off is at its peak with the river at peak.
Loss of wildlife and wildlife habitat in Lower Zambeziin Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Mana Pools is a UNESCO world heritage site)
Loss of socio-economic activities on the lake (fisheries, tourism etc)
