Chambeshi River Floods, Zambia

Zambia’s Chambeshi River had been transformed from a barely visible line to a broad lake more than 20 kilometers wide on February 6, 2007. Many rivers in southern Africa, including the Zambezi, pushed over their banks in early 2007 under the onslaught of an exceptionally early and heavy rainy season.
