Drought of great magnitude shakes Gaza province
After 26 years,another drought of great magnitude is back to shake the region of the Great Limpopo in Gaza province.
The situation is most critical, because the Massingir dam that could relieve the lower Limpopo region in emergencies, can not release the waters that are in the
reservoir due to failure of the damaged bottom discharger in 2008. Currently the dam of Massingir is reserving precious 60 percent of its full capacity ,that is ,about 1 and a half million cubic meters.
It is enough to provide the region of the valley of the Great Limpopo in two consecutive years of prolonged drought.But the ineffectiveness of bottom
unloaders which enjoys general average since 2008, put everything on the ground.
The Limpopo River, the main river basin in Gaza province and its
tributaries, is practically dry.The Regional Administration of Aguas de Sul Ara Sul, is aware of this situation. This running against the clock to minimize the impact of the drought that already brought negative impacts on agrarian production, especially in the districts of Chokwe, Massingir,Chibuto and Guija.

The managing director of Ara South Elio Banze said that the upstream countries also have also been affected-by the lack of rain and if the situation prevails in
the coming days, Gaza will go through its worst drought in 40 years. Capable of holding 2 million, eight hundred thousand cubic meters, in addition to coping with the large magnitude of floods, the dam of Massingir has the ability to
irrigate 90,000 hectares in the valley region of the Great Limpopo in three consecutive years of prolonged drought
