The Swakopmund Dam is at 75.1%, Von Bach Dam at 92.3% and Omatako Dam at 60.8%, while the Otjivero Silt Dam remains full at 100% capacity.

In the Hardap region, Hardap Dam continues to hold the largest volume of water in the region at 69.4% capacity, while Naute Dam stands at 91.2%.

The Neckartal Dam, Namibia's largest by capacity, is currently 100% full, with no change from the previous week.

The eastern dams remain in a strong position, with the Omatako–Oshakati system recording 75.5% of total capacity.

Meanwhile, Olushandja Dam is 52.3% full, Milo Dam stands at 51.7%, and Calueque Dam remains at 67.7%.
