Three of the four northern regions are preparing for another possible severe drought due to poor rainfall.

It is against that background that the Regional Governors of Oshana, Omusati and Oshikoto along with other stakeholders, assessed water levels in the Etaka- Uuvudhiya water canal.

The rainy season is rounding up and some areas are still dry including most of the Oshanas. This situation poses a serious threat to water availability and scarce grazing for animals.
