The Opuwo Town Council is in consultation with stakeholders to find a solution to the water challenge in the town.

Mayor Rosa Tjeundo also highlighted some of the council's successes to date during the 10th Jubilee Opuwo Trade Fair.

Water scarcity continues to be a challenge in some parts of the Erongo Region, and Governor Neville Andre has urged the Orano Erongo Desalination Plant to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the government to help fight the water crisis in rural areas of the region.

Andre said this during the opening of the visitor centre at the Erongo Desalination Plant, 35 kilometres outside Swakopmund.

Neville Andre says there's nothing more essential to life on earth than water. Yet there's a global water crisis.

Water scarcity is one of the greatest challenges in Namibia, and this is mainly due to unpredictable rainfall patterns.

This was said by the Executive Director of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform, Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata, at a three-day regional conference on hydrology and water coordination held at Swakopmund.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform is tasked with the responsibility of managing the sustainable utilization of agriculture, water, and land resources.
