Africa-Press – Namibia. Namibia’s national dam storage has declined to 87.4% of full capacity, according to the latest weekly surface water bulletin released by NamWater on 9 June 2025.
The country’s total surface water storage now stands at 1,359.815 million cubic metres, down by 8.581 million cubic metres compared to the previous week.
The report shows that while some reservoirs recorded marginal gains, most, including key dams like Hardap and Neckartal, experienced small to moderate declines.
This downward trend is expected to continue as inflows taper off during the dry season.
NamWater spokesperson Lot Ndamanomhata has in the meantime called on all water users to intensify water-saving efforts.
“While dam levels are still relatively strong thanks to a good rainy season, we are entering a period where responsible water use becomes even more important. We urge all Namibians, whether households, municipalities, or industries, to use water efficiently and with care,” he says.
Ndamanomhata adds that even modest changes in consumption habits can make a difference. “Every drop counts, and as the dry season deepens, we must be proactive in preserving this vital resource.”
