	Cahora Bassa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cahora Bassa lake is southern Africa's second-largest artificial lake, situated in the Tete Province in Mozambique.
		The Cahora Bassa Dam is one of the three major dams on the Zambezi river system, the others being Kariba and Itezhi-Tezhi.
		It was operated by Hidroelectrica de Cahora Bassa and jointly owned by Mozambique, with an 18% equity stake, and Portugal, which held the remaining 82% equity.

	Zambezi - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The lower Zambezi's 650 km (400 miles) from Cahora Bassa to the Indian Ocean is navigable, although the river is shallow in many places during the dry season.
		However, below Kariba and Cahora Bassa dams, the cessation of annual flooding has seen the area of this habitat greatly reduced and a corresponding reduction in the populations of the large mammals.
		The drastic reduction in the flow of the river led to a 40% reduction in the coverage of mangroves, greatly increased erosion of the coastal region and a 60% reduction in the catch of prawns off the mouth due to the reduction in emplacement of silt and associate nutrients.

		Cabora-Bassa (also spelled Cahora Bassa) is the name for an HVDC-power system between the static inverter station Songo, Mozambique, which is situated near the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Generation Station based on the Cahora Bassa dam near Zambezi falls in Mozambique, and the converter station Apollo near Pretoria, South Africa.
		The Cahora-Bassa transmission project was a joint venture of the two electrical utilities Electricity Supply Commission, ESKOM, Johannesburg South Africa and Hidroelectrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB), a firm owned 82% by the government of Portugal and 18% by Mozambique[4].
		The tripartite agreement was suspended due to force majeure when the line from Cahora Bassa was unavailable in the 1980s.

		Cahora Bassa’s eight sluice gates are located significantly lower on the dam wall than Kariba’s, and are below the average operating water level of the reservoir.
		Incorporating planned flood releases into the operation of Cahora Bassa Dam needs to be evaluated in light of a complex economic picture muddied by past debts and the effects of the long civil war.
		Because the Cahora Bassa debt is just one of the many burdens on Mozambique’s post–war economy, the government is pressed to generate maximum power output to eliminate the dam debt as quickly as possible.
