		It is dammed on its lower reach in the Kafue River Gorge, and further up river at Itezhi-tezhi, near the Kafue Flats, for hydroelectric power and irrigation.

	Status of fish stocks and fisheries of thirteen medium-sized African reservoirs
		The two dams across the river, the Kafue Gorge dam and the Itezhitezhi dam, were closed in 1972 and 1977 respectively.

		The weeds came from the Kafue River Flats where the increase in water level as a result of the Kafue Gorge dam had caused extensive growth of emergent macrophytes, particularly Vossia cuspidata.
