Dam water levels have increased across key dams following recent rainfall in catchment areas.
Updated figures by Namwater indicate a positive response to recent precipitation with Swakoppoort Dam, which saw its water levels rise by 0.796 million cubic metres.
The recent influx of water in key catchment areas and floodplains has brought large quantities of fish, making it an ideal opportunity for Northerners to capitalise.
Many of the unemployed have been spending their time by the floodplains, catching fish.
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.
