Project Overview
Namibia Water Corporation Ltd (NamWater) currently operates two river water supply schemes, Rundu and N’karapamwe, to supply the town of Rundu from the Okavango River. The existing schemes are aged and currently running at maximum capacity. As a result, NamWater intends to upgrade the water supply scheme and construct a new plant with an increased capacity of about 104% to meet the ever-growing water demand by 2037. NamWater (the proponent) has appointed Nicholas O’Dwyer Ltd.
