Namibia to Build Second Water Plant in Uranium Region, NBC Says

Namibia plans to spend 2 billion Namibian dollars on a second desalination plant in the uranium-producing Erongo region, the Namibian Broadcasting Corp. reported, citing Andrew Ndishishi, the minister of agriculture, water and forestry.

The first desalination plant was commissioned in April last year, the broadcaster cited Ndishishi as saying. The government also planned to spend 3 billion Namibian dollars on a dam near the South African border, it said.
