The three-dam system that provides water to the Central Areas of Namibia is said to be in a strong position. 

Currently, the Von Bach, Swakoppoort and Omatako dams that supply the central area of Namibia have a combined storage of about 82 million cubic metres, representing 53.1% of their total capacity.

NamWater’s latest dam bulletin, released on March 20, reveals a rise in water levels across several major reservoirs. The report, which compares current levels to those recorded on March 17, shows increases in dam storage percentages, particularly at the Hardap, Von Bach, and Swakoppoort dams.

NamWater has announced that dam levels have improved due to the rainfall over the past few days.

The development brings much-needed optimism as the rainy season progresses, contributing to water security.
