The Zambezi River, also known as the Liba River, means "giant river" in the local dialect. The average annual flow of the estuary is 7080 cubic meters per second, and the runoff is 223.2 billion cubic meters, second only to the Congo River. The upper reaches of the Victoria Falls are the upper reaches, and most of them flow through the plateau. The vertical ratio of the riverbed is small, the water flow is gentle, the meanders are developed, the swamps are widely distributed along the river, and there are rapids and waterfalls in some river sections. The section from the waterfall down to the Cabra Bassa in Mozambique is the middle reaches. Most of the river sections cut through the sandstone layers, and some sections cut through the basalt layers, forming the characteristics of the valley between canyons and wide valleys. The famous canyon is Batoka. Gorge, Kariba Gorge, Kabubasa Gorge, etc., the water flow is slow and urgent, and it is rich in water resources. The lower reaches of the river below Cabra Bassa are the lower reaches.
