		Eastward of the source the watershed between the Congo and Zambezi basins is a well-marked belt of high ground, falling abruptly north and south, and running nearly east-west between 11 and 12° S. This distinctly cuts off the basin of the Luapula (the main branch of the upper Congo) from that of the Zambezi.
		Its tributaries the Lunsemfwa River and Lukasashi River drain a large area of the western plateau of Zambia.
		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.

		A majority of the population on the Copperbelt is still dependent on mining and its related activities.Approximately 90% of the region is drained by the Kafue River and its tributary network (e.g., Kakosa stream at Konkola, the Mushishima stream at Nchanga, Mufulira stream at Mufulira) (Figure 2).
		The Kafue River bisects the Copperbelt in a south-southeasterly orientation, rising from headwaters close to the Congo border, approximately 100 km upstream of the Konkola Division.
		Because of the geology of the Kafue River basin, there is little acid rock drainage (ARD), which limits the availability of other elements, such as lead and arsenic, to pose a significant health threat.

		In the Zambezi Basin, the Zambezi River itself flows for 600 km through the country and forms the frontier successively with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique for a further 825 km.
		The fishing activities of Zambia are carried on in an extremely rich variety of lakes, swamps, rivers, floodplains and other bodies of water (both natural and man made) which are distributed throughout the country.
		Overfishing does not generally appear to be a problem, although the increasing use of smaller meshes and improper techniques (such as fish driving and beach seines) give cause for concern.
