| | | | Paper by Steve Rothert of the International Rivers Network, discussing government plans to construct a pipeline from the Okavango River to supply water to the central area of Namibia. The report says that by augmenting water demand management efforts, expanding artificial aquifer recharge and "water banking" techniques, and by continuing to tap abandoned mines, the central area could meet growing demand and emergency supply needs for less than two-thirds the cost of Okavango River water. The report concludes that by incorporating these alternative strategies, the government of Namibia can meet future water needs at reduced cost and time, while sparing the Okavango Delta: a win-win solution. | | more information ›
