These safe zones will be able to accommodate all affected residents and some of their belongings if the need arises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nghiwilepo indicated that these vital updates will be sent out on SMS\u2019s and social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The water level in the river has risen significantly after NamWater officials at the Hardap Dam started to release a larger volume of water to keep the water level behind the wall at a manageable level.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday afternoon heavy rain showers in the catchment areas of two smaller rivers that feed into the Fish River below the dam wall added to the volume of water that flows past Mariental.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Water from the dam is currently flowing at a rate of 730 cubic metres per second.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the water level behind the dam wall increases to above 95% the floodgates will be opened to release 1 000 cubic metres or more per second.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, some fields of irrigation farmers on the Hardap agricultural scheme have already been inundated by an overflowing Fish River. Although the damage is currently minimal more is likely to occur if the water level in the river rises.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":300140,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
