CLARIFICATION REGARDING WATER FLOW IN THE SWAKOP RIVER NEAR VON BACH DAM

NamWater has taken note of videos circulating on social media showing water flowing in the Swakop River in the vicinity of Von Bach Dam. These visuals have prompted public speculation that the water may be the result of a possible leak from the dam.

NamWater wishes to assure the public that there is no leak from Von Bach Dam, and the integrity of the dam remains fully intact.

The observed water flow is associated with normal operations at the Von Bach Water Treatment Plant. As part of the water treatment process, the plant’s filters are periodically cleaned through a procedure known as filter backwashing. The water used during this process is typically directed to dedicated storage ponds, from where it is recovered and returned to the treatment process.

However, during periods of increased treatment activity, the frequency of backwashing may rise, causing the storage ponds to reach maximum capacity. In such instances, excess backwash water is safely diverted into the Swakop River to prevent overloading of the ponds and to ensure the continued efficient operation of the treatment plant.

This is a standard, occasional operational practice — not an emergency or structural failure. The public is advised not to be alarmed by the presence of water in the riverbed, as it forms part of NamWater’s authorised treatment management procedures.

NamWater appreciates the public’s vigilance and encourages community members to seek information through its official communication channels for any clarification on matters relating to water supply infrastructure and operations.

Hilma Nakashole: Breaking barriers behind the bulldozer đźšś

For nine years, Hilma Nakashole has stood out as the only woman operating a bulldozer at NamWater in Oshakati — and she wears that role with pride.

“When I walked into my interview, there was doubt,” she recalls. “But I proved that women can do it just like men.”

Today, she not only operates bulldozers but also drives tipper trucks, challenging every stereotype about women in heavy machinery.

Her journey is more than personal achievement — it reflects a shift in what is possible in spaces long dominated by men.

She is currently part of the Oshakati purification plant extension project, a N$743 million upgrade that will boost water treatment capacity from 40,000 to 90,000 mÂł per day, strengthening supply across Oshana, Ohangwena, and Oshikoto regions.

A story of resilience, courage, and breaking ceilings one load at a time. đź’Ş

đź’§ WEEKLY DAM BULLETIN | 01 JUNE 2026

🔹 Naute Dam – 110.8%
🔹 Swakoppoort Dam – 78.8%
