There is a need for concerted efforts to address the threat of water scarcity in the country.
It is for this reason that stakeholders are attending a National Scientific, Cultural, and Creative Forum on the Future of Water to develop solutions.
Namibia has experienced drought for three consecutive years, and the water shortage is at a critical stage, affecting dam levels and groundwater recharge.
Water scarcity has affected people's livelihoods and the economy, underscoring the urgent need for collaboration across all sectors.
Stakeholders are considering water-saving methods, the possibility of water desalination, and how creative industries can get involved in raising awareness and finding lasting solutions.
Water is not only crucial for daily usage but also for Namibia's future plans, including its Green Industrialisation Blueprint.
