Abstract
As a nation with highly variable and
limited availability of water resources, Zimbabwe relies on
a vast and aging water infrastructure stock that requires
prompt rehabilitation to better support the water, food, and
energy sectors. The country has limited water resources,
with much of its area classified as semi-arid with highly
variable rainfall. Zimbabwe relies on dams to store water to
ensure irrigation for food security, water supply, and
hydropower production. It has the second highest water
storage capacity per capita in Southern Africa. There are
about 10,000 dams, from large to small, and more publicly
owned dams than private dams.
