Canoes and ferries are used to transport people and goods at various navigable sections of the Zambezi basin.
Navigation
Various sections of the Zambezi River are used
for navigation. Efforts are being made to improve
navigability of the river along the Kazungula and
Katima Mulilo-Sesheke transportation routes
through Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.
The National Water Resources Plan of
Mozambique has a provision to undertake
studies to improve navigability of the Lower
Zambezi (SADC and ZRA 2007). The initiative
requires improved infrastructure, flow
level regulation, aquatic weed control and
dredging. Improved navigation combined
with regional road network planning could be
a step towards closer cooperation between
countries in the basin.
