Fresh water from a newly discovered aquifer in northern Namibia may be vast enough to supply 40 percent of the population for hundreds of years, the Namibian reported, citing officials.
The discovery of the aquifer about 300 meters (980 feet) underground from Eenhana to Okongo and stretching from Okankolo into southern Angola was the result of a 5-year project between the agricultural and water ministry, state-owned Namibia Water Corp. Ltd. and the German federal institute of geosciences and natural resources, the Windhoek-based newspaper said today.
