Daily Life In Namibia

A worker tastes desalinated water from pipe at the first seawater desalination factory in southern Africa near Swakopmund, Namibia. The first large desalination plant was inaugurated by Areva on the 16 April 2010. The Erongo plant is located near Wlotzkasbaken, 30 km north of Swakopmund. Its maximum capacity is 20 million m3 per year. The plant has a contract to sell water to state-owned service provider Namwater and provides 75 percent of the water requirements for the city of Swakopmund. During the 2016 drought, Areva offered to sell its plant to the Namibian government. ( (Photo by Oleksandr Rupeta/NurPhoto))
