Victoria Falls is 100 meters high and nearly dried up due to climate change

Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is considered one of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls in the world, but now it is in danger of disappearing due to climate change.

For decades, Victoria Falls has been world famous for its grandeur. Originating from the Zambezi River of southern Africa, when reaching the Victoria Falls gorge on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border, the water poured down to 100 m to create a stunning view. The beauty of Victoria Falls has attracted millions of tourists to Zimbabwe and Zambia.

But the worst drought in a century has caused the waterfall to trickle down, ringing bells about climate change that could kill one of the famous tourist spots, according to Reuters.

Normally, waterfalls flow more weakly during the dry season but officials say this year, the amount of water that has fallen has been unprecedented.

'Years ago, when it was in the dry season it wasn't this much. This is the first time we've seen waterfalls like this, '' said Dominic Nyambe, whose souvenir shop in Livingstone, near the waterfall.

'It affects us, because visitors can see it online (waterfalls become rays) and don't want to come anymore.'

As world leaders gathered in Madrid for COP25 to discuss how to prevent catastrophic warming caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions, southern Africa suffered some of the worst impacts. : dehydration and crop failure. About 45 million people need food aid because of crop failures.

Zimbabwe and Zambia have been cut off because they rely heavily on hydroelectric plants at the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River upstream of the waterfall.

This kilometer of natural wonders is now stark, with the amount of water pouring just like any other place.

As noted by the Zambezi River authority, the current water flow is the lowest since 1995 and below the average for many years.

Zambian President Edgar Lungu calls this a "serious reminder of what climate change is doing to our environment".
