NamWater’s latest dam bulletin, released on March 20, reveals a rise in water levels across several major reservoirs. The report, which compares current levels to those recorded on March 17, shows increases in dam storage percentages, particularly at the Hardap, Von Bach, and Swakoppoort dams.
NamWater has announced that dam levels have improved due to the rainfall over the past few days.
The development brings much-needed optimism as the rainy season progresses, contributing to water security.
Despite some rainfall in its catchment area, the water level of the Hardap Dam has not significantly improved.
Dawie De Klerk, Chairperson of the Hardap Irrigation Farmers Association, reports that the dam has received only 0.7% water inflow following the rains.
Water levels in various dams across the country continue to decrease despite good rains recorded in some parts over the weekend.
The weekly dam bulletin released by NamWater on Monday shows water levels in most dams dropped by 1% this week compared to last week.
