Water levels at Victoria Falls at lowest level in 40 years Part 1

The video discusses the significant decline in water levels at the waterfall dividing Zambia and Zimbabwe, reaching its lowest in 25 years. This change, worsened by drought and delayed rains, is visible from the air. The drop in water levels has created new islands in the Zambezi River, affecting Zambia's hydropower, businesses, and wildlife. Hippos are now found in unusual river locations, indicating severe drought impacts. The lack of water threatens wildlife and tourism, crucial to Zambia's economy.
