Chavuma Falls

Chavuma Falls is a small waterfall on the Zambezi River in northwestern Zambia close to the town of Chavuma, lying immediately south of the border with Angola.^[1] During the wet season, the waterfalls are generally overwhelmed by the flow of the river but become visible as the dry season progresses. The falls have a mean annual discharge of 555 m³/s^[2] and are only a few meters high. In 2018, Zambia proposed to develop a hydroelectric power station at Chavuma Falls to boost energy production and stimulate economic activities in the area.
