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. To get deeper into this, we were joined by NamWater spokesperson, Lot Ndamanomhata
