These stations are Monkebay in Mangochi, Nkhatabay Jetty in Nkhata-bay and Chilumba in Karonga.The stations have both the manual gauge staffs and the automated system. The automated data has to be validated with the manual data before it could be used. The lake levels this year have been the highest for the past eleven (11) years. The computed level is very important for a number of stakeholders especially the Marine department, Fisheries department , Tourism industry and Meteorological services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purposes of the visit were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To understand how the gauge stations along the Lake work and how data is transmitted.
