Windhoek - The residents of the Namibian capital Windhoek have been urged to save at least ten percent of their water due to a poor rainy season and low dam levels, the municipality announced on Wednesday.
"The level of the three dams supplying the central areas with water are very low, rating between 1.2 and 36%, and dams will run dry by the middle of 2016, if rainfalls remain poor," said municipal spokesperson Joshua Amukugo.
"We appeal to all residents of Windhoek to save at least ten percent water at all times, whether at home, at schools or at offices. We are facing a critical stage that could turn disastrous if not handled with caution."
