Talk:Kariba Dam

Inconsistency in the stated capacity of Lake Kariba

The article gives two different figures for the water storage capacity of Lake Kariba. The infobox lists the reservoir's total capacity as 180 km³, but the body text states: "The dam forms Lake Kariba, which extends for 280 km and holds 185 km³ of water." The difference of 5 km³ is approximately 2.7%, and neither figure is marked as referring to a different water level or a different year's measurement. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?
