Overview of the Buzi River in Mozambique
The Buzi River is an important river in central Mozambique, flowing mainly through Sofala Province. It originates in the western highlands and meanders for about 250 kilometers from west to east, eventually emptying into the Indian Ocean near the city of Beira. As an important tributary of the Pungwe River, the Buzi forms a vast alluvial plain that nourishes the agricultural areas along its banks.
Geographic and Ecological Features
The Buzi River basin has a tropical climate, with abundant water during the rainy season (November to March) and a relatively flat dry season. The river is surrounded by mangroves, wetlands and savannahs, which provide habitat for hippos, crocodiles and many species of birds. The downstream delta area is ecologically important and is classified as a protected area.
Economic and social role
The river is the main source of water for domestic use and agricultural irrigation for the people living along its banks, supporting the cultivation of rice, sugarcane and other crops. At the same time, the Buzi River is equipped for shipping, and some sections of the river can be used for small boats, facilitating the transportation of materials between the port of Beira and the interior. In recent years, the local government is balancing the development of water resources with ecological protection.
