Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform (MAWLR)\u2019s head of rural water supply and sanitation in Oshikoto, Stevenson Tuukondjele, said they plan to install 20 boreholes in the Oshikoto region early next year.<\/p>\n

He told Nampa the boreholes will be installed in the eastern part of the region, where water shortages are experienced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese boreholes will be installed in the Nehale LyaMpingana, Okankolo, Eengodi and Omuthiya constituencies,\u201d Tuukondjele said.<\/p>\n

He added that the ministry is busy with administrative work for now, and they will start drilling these boreholes early next year, probably around January.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry has also embarked on research on the desalination of saline underground water so that this salty water can now be made safer for human and animal consumption,\u201d Tuukondjele continued. He said they have chosen a company responsible for this process, which is currently busy desalinating water in the Kunene region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are busy exploring the best possible way to take water to these areas in the meantime,\u201d said Tuukondjele.<\/p>\n

Several villages that did not have water in September are now getting water, as most of the problems, such as bursting pipes, have been solved.<\/p>\n
