Kariba, the first ten years

Published in 1971 by the Central African Power Corporation, Kariba, the first ten years chronicles the decade following the completion of the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River. The book serves as a historical record and a corporate retrospective, documenting the immense engineering undertaking that created one of the world's largest man-made reservoirs. It situates the project within the political and economic landscape of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, focusing on the development of hydroelectric power as a catalyst for regional industrial growth.

The volume features a blend of technical photography, statistical data, and narrative accounts intended to highlight the mastery over the Zambezi’s challenging terrain. It was designed as both a commemorative piece and a testament to the international cooperation required to relocate displaced populations and manage wildlife through initiatives like Operation Noah. While primarily distributed to stakeholders and engineers, it remains a significant primary source for historians studying mid-century infrastructure projects in Southern Africa.
