Almost 400 mega litres of raw and partially treated sewerage are flowing back to Lake Chivero daily, the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) has revealed.
The discharge of untreated sewage into Lake Chivero exposes Harare’s estimated 3.5 million consumers to serious health risks.
As a result, some Harare residents have abandoned drinking or cooking with Lake Chivero’s water, preferring to buy bottled water from shops.
In an interview with the <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/theindependent/local-news/article/200016684/146-000-megalitres-of-raw-sewage-gush-into-chivero">Zimbabwe Independent</a>, Amkela Sidange, environmental education and publicity manager at EMA, said flowing raw sewage has polluted both terrestrial ecosystems and water bodies. She said:
<blockquote>
Surveys by EMA indicate that an estimated 399 mega litres of raw and partially treated sewer are discharged into Lake Chivero (daily), which is one of the most pronounced drivers in pollution of the lake thus contaminating and polluting both terrestrial ecosystems and water bodies.
</blockquote>
The destruction of wetlands across the country due to urban sprawl and the unchecked parcelling out of State land by politically-connected land barons has worsened the situation.
Sidange said there was hope that under the National Wetland Masterplan, the ecologically fragile ecosystems can be preserved. She said:
<blockquote>
Wetland utilisation should only be done under a licence from EMA, failure of which can result in prosecution.
Commendable government efforts have been recorded recently, including the gazetting of the National Wetland Master Plan.
Increasing wetland area under sustainable management is one of the key objectives of the National Development Strategy.
To date, an estimated 252 000 hectares against a target of 500 000 hectares have been put under sustainable management
</blockquote>
Early this week, the City of Harare temporarily closed its water treatment plant due to a phenomenon called “lake turn” at Lake Chivero.
The local government authority explained that the “lake turn” occurred as a result of a sudden weather change on the night of 12 September.
It said the warm and dirty water at the bottom of the lake rose to the abstraction point (the level where water is drawn from the lake to the treatment works for treatment).
As a result, the City shut down “the plant to allow for adjustment of abstraction levels to draw better quality raw water for treatment.”

399 Megalitres Of Raw Sewage Flow Into Lake Chivero Daily - EMA

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is appealing to members of the public to help in the identification of a man who drowned in Lake Chivero on Saturday.
ZRP said the deceased man’s body was found floating on Saturday after sunset. Pindula News presents the police statement on the case:
<blockquote>
The ZRP is appealing to members of the public to assist in the identification of a male adult whose body was found floating in Lake Chivero on 12/12/21 at about 0900 hours. Anyone with information to report at any nearest Police Station.
</blockquote>
While swimming at the Lake is said to be “at own risk,” safety measures that were in place on Saturday were not enough to prevent drowning.
There were not enough barriers to block holidaymakers from going to the deep ends. Neither were there any Lake attendants to monitor the public.
This reporter witnessed some individuals, about three, swimming as far as 75 metres from the shores and one wonders what could have happened if one encountered difficulties whilst in the waters.
Some of the individuals in the Lake were visibly drunk.
The majority of swimmers were aged between 13 and 40 while the rest were either young kids who were with their parents or a few who were over 40.

An Unidentified Man Drowns In Lake Chivero

Morton Jaffray Waterworks Plant has been refurbished by a Chinese firm, China Machinery Engineering Company (CMEC).
The plant has been equipped with new equipment most of which is automated. Project executive director, Cao Yang said:
<blockquote>We have equipped Morton Jaffray with world-class equipment which will last for 20 to 30 years, and most of the machinery is automated.
I have given the best staff to ensure the system works well.
We desire to see Harare receiving adequate water.
The city has immense potential to grow and we desire to ensure this happens.</blockquote>
Cao, however, bemoaned the excessive levels of water pollution at Lake Chivero which has, in turn, reduced the volume of treatable water.
He revealed that some parts of the Lake are now dead, as the water is polluted to such an extent that it is no longer treatable.
He urged the government to take a look at the situation at the Lake and find alternative sources of water for Harare residents.

Harare Metropolitan Provincial Affairs minister Oliver Chidawu said has revealed that the Council is pumping almost 82% of untreated sewerage into the Lake Chivero. The Lake is the main water source for Harare.
Chidawu revealed also that the Crowborough sewer treatment plant is incapacitated to process the sewer that it receives. He said:
<blockquote>The biggest problem we have got is waste water pollution, taking an example from Crowbrough sewage works, which is receiving about 100 mega litres of raw sewage per day against its installed capacity of 54 mega litres.
The current infrastructure at the treatment works is only processing 18 mega litres and the rest is being pumped into the lake. We are all drinking dirty water and if action is not taken, we will all die.</blockquote>
The local authority is also failing to treat water arguing that it does not have enough foreign currency.
<a href="https://www.dailynews.co.zw/articles/2018/01/07/city-fathers-abused-144m-bank-loan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Harare city fathers are alleged to have misused US$144 loan from the Chinese Import and Export</a> Bank that was meant for the rehabilitation of both sewer and water treatment plants. Reports suggest that city management used the money to buy luxurious cars for themselves.
The council has however started paying back the loan using ratepayers and residents’ monthly rates which was supposed to go towards service delivery.

"We're Drinking Dirty Water, We Will All Die,” Chidawu Speaks On Raw Sewer Pumped Into Lake Chivero

The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) has reported that water levels in dams have vastly decreased.
ZINWA corporate communications and marketing manager, Mrs Marjorie Munyonga informed that the national dam level average now stands at 69,3 percent
Mrs Munyonga said the commencement of the winter cropping season is set to increase pressure on the dams. She theresore advised farmers to make arrangements that ensure water availability for their crops and livestock. Munyonga said:
<div class="sirius-dfp-inarticle"></div>
<blockquote>Zinwa appeals to all farmers who will be involved in winter cropping to ensure that they have the relevant water abstraction agreements for them to have irrigation water reserved for them in the dams.
No water shall be reserved in the dams for unregistered users while Zinwa shall also intensify its monitoring activities along river channels to ensure that all illegal water use is eliminated.</blockquote>
Major irrigation and water supply dams around the country including Chivero Dam, Mazvikadei, Mazowe Dam, Rufaro, Mtshabezi Dam, Upper Ncema, Insiza, Tugwi Mukosi, Manjirenji, Mutirikwi, Wenimbi and Osborne dams have registered significant decreases in water levels.

Winter Cropping Season In Jeopardy As Dam Water Levels Vastly Decrease

Harare’s main water supply dam, Lake Chivero, is said to be dying a slow death due to a number of factors among which are droughts, algae, destruction of wetlands, siltation and invasion by the water hyacinth weed.
The City’s acting director for water, Mabhena Moyo said that the low water levels in tha dam are attribuatble to low rainfall. In an interview with State media, Mabhena said:
<blockquote>We have problems because of the low amount of rainfall we have received over the years. Normally, the lake would be spilling by end of December up until February. We have so far only had an increase in water levels of three or so metres.</blockquote>
Garry Stafford, who operates Kuimba Shiri-a bird sanctuary located on the shores of Lake Chivero said that the main cause of the reseivor’s death is the destruction of wetlands:
<blockquote>This problem has been foretold a long time ago, so people in Harare have to be used to this fact that if you continue to build on wetlands, if you continue to destroy the wetlands you are going to destroy this lake.
Wetland holds water over a long period and then release the water slowly and over a long period, resuscitating the lake in the process.
What has happened is that our previous administrations have gone and built on wetlands and destroyed them and what we are witnessing here at Chivero in the last ten years is what we call flash flooding.</blockquote>

Lake Chivero Slowly Dying Due To Rampant Destruction Of Wetlands

Whenever a Zimbo specifically the ones in and around Harare hear that someone wants to go to the lake, the first picture that often comes to mind is the braai on the shore of the lake and probably a tour of the dam wall and spillway.
Those people would be right but this is just a fraction of what’s offered by this reservoir and its ecosystem. Another section of it is the Lake Chivero Recreational Park which in addition to the braai and the beach also incorporates some wildlife into the landscape. Here you can catch sight of a number of game including impala, water buck and yes rhinos. The video below can Hopefully motivate you to #VisitZimbabwe
