Govt approves construction of desalination plant
Address water shortages
Government, through NamWater, will partner with Swakop Uranium.
NamWater has announced the construction of a second desalination plant and will commence with the implementation plan to realise the construction of the plant.
This was announced by agriculture minister Calle Schlettwein.
“With the ambitious development of the plans for Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, alongside increased mining, industrial and agricultural demands, our current water resources are insufficient,” Schlettwein said.
According to Schlettwein, the construction of the plant will not only address Namibia’s water needs but also position Namibia as a leader with regards to sustainable water management.
“The new plant will ensure a secure and reliable water supply, crucial for supporting the region’s economic activities and enhancing the quality of life for our residents," said Schlettwein.
“Namibia is taking significant strides toward sustainable growth and resilience by investing in such critical infrastructure projects. The approval of the desalination plant is a landmark decision that will have,” he added.
NamWater also announced the appointment of a transaction advisor to develop concepts around the project’s implementation model.
