Water levels at Victoria Falls are at the lowest level in 25 years, according to Metro UK. Elisha Moyo, the chief climate change researcher for Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Environment, Climate and Tourism, told the BBC that the average amount of water flowing over the falls this year is down by nearly 50 percent.
"The
low falls are becoming more frequent," Moyo said. "Who knows maybe
one year there will be no falls completely, no water." Moyo, like Zambian
President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, points to climate change as the culprit behind
the falls being nearly dried up.
Back
in October, Lungu fired a warning shot on Twitter, posting photos of the barren
falls and declaring the images are a "stark reminder of what climate
change is doing to our environment and our livelihood."

This is what tourists expect, not the dried out trickle that they will see this year.
