Gaborone Dam at 21 months capacity

Source: Mmegi

Currently Gaborone Dam has water levels that could last up to 21 months. Speaking to Mmegi yesterday, the Public Relations Manager at Water Utilities Corporation (WUC), Matida Mmipi, said that the Gaborone Dam levels stand at 57 percent.


She said that Bokaa Dam levels are at 96 percent, which is a 16 months supply of water. While Nnywane dam levels are 97 percent, a 15-month supply and Letsibogo dam levels are at 67 percent, which means a 17-months supply.

However, it is the Shashe dam that boasts of levels at 99 percent, over two-year supply of water, which stands at 25 months of supply without further inflow.

Mmipi said that they still maintain the old restrictions and they would need to see a change in order to chart the way forward. She said that Batswana were responding well and have been very responsible.
