Gammams Plant is to be extended, the capacity of the New Goreangab Water Reclamation Plant could be extended, or alternatively, a new plant could be constructed to treat additional volumes of reclaimed water based on advanced reclamation with a membrane system (ultra-pure water), Extensions to the dual pipe system in the Windhoek municipal area following the completion of upgrades performed at the Old Goreangab Water Reclamation Plant in 2010-11 and the proposed new Ujams Water Treatment Plant (construction commenced in the first third of 2013), Water reclamation in other towns (advanced reclamation) in the CAN which use more than 1 Mm3/a of water, Completion of i.e. linking the start of the Eastern National Water Carrier Kavango Link – canal at Grootfontein to the Okavango River either at Rundu or elsewhere. The Cuvelai area The options regarding potential additional water sources for the Cuvelai area appear to be somewhat limited. These include: Abstracting water from the Kunene River on Namibian soil below the Ruacana Falls, which although still utilising water from the same source as currently, has the advantage of locating the abstraction and transfer infrastructure entirely on Namibian soil, Development of the deep Ohangwena Aquifer in the area around Eenhana. Very little is known about this aquifer at this time, beyond its possible potential use for water supply and perhaps artificial recharge. More extensive exploration drilling will in all likelihood therefore be required to determine the capacity of this aquifer and the feasibility for abstraction and artificial recharge in the long term, Water reclamation and re-use in the central nucleus of Oshakati, Ongwediva and Ondangwa, which could include direct reclamation or partial re-use of water for “grey” irrigation purposes, Development of the ground water sources to the east and west of the central pipeline network. This could include linking up the existing individual borehole installations for supply to the central Cuvelai area or developing new well fields for this purpose, The desalination of saline ground water in the central portions and possibly in remote parts of the Cuvelai area, Use of Lake Oponono, The abstraction of water from the Okavango River. The Environmental and Social team will engage with the Engineering team to help ensure that all viable options are being considered, and to understand the full implications of the engineering options being considered. / more..
