The lack of water is being felt almost nationwide.

Due to poor rainfall in the catchments, Gobabis residents will now experience water rationing.

This has affected water sources like Otjivero Dam, which supplies water to Gobabis.

Residents of the Suncity location at Rundu have been without running water for months. 

They have now resorted to collecting water from the supply lines found above the ground. 

The Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) will ration water supply from March 7–10, 2023, due to an upgrade of the raw water pumps at the Oshakati Water Treatment Plant and distribution system.
