Namibia records slight increase in dam levels amidst drought
PRETORIA - A slight increase has been recorded in dams across Namibia, as the country – and its neighbours in the Southern African Development Community region face insecurity inspired by a drought.
The Namibian newspaper, quoting the weekly dam level bulletin by parastatal the Namibia Water Corporation , said the improvement in water levels followed recent rain countrywide. Combined dam levels only showed only a slight improvement, despite rains in some parts of the country, from 20.1 per cent last week to 20.9 per cent this week.
Last year, water restrictions were enforced as the sparsely populated country sought to manage water provision. Hardap Farmers Association chairperson Dawid de Klerk told The Namibian that the water supply cuts to the farmers still apply.
