BOTSWANA ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS WATER DIGEST 2018 Statistics Botswana PREFACE This is Statistics Botswana’s annual Botswana Environment Statistics: Water Digest. It is the first solely water statistics annual digest. This Digest will provide data for use by decision-makers in water management and development and provide tools for the monitoring of trends in water statistics. The indicators in this report cover data on dam levels, water production, billed water consumption, non-revenue water, and water supplied to mines. It is envisaged that coverage of indicators will be expanded as more data becomes available. International standards and guidelines were followed in the compilation of this report. The United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (UNFDES) and the United Nations International Recommendations for Water Statistics were particularly useful guidelines. The data collected herein will feed into the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) for water and hence facilitate an informed management of water resources.

Project Profile & Japan’s ODA Loan Angola Zambia Botswana Zimbabwe Namibia Maun Francistown Ghanzi Palapye Mamuno Maharapye South Africa Gaborone Tshabong Project location map Mmamashia Water Treatment Works 1.1 Background Botswana is a landlocked country that is situated in the Kalahari Basin on the plains of southern Africa (average altitude: approximately 900 meters); it is bordered by the Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Zambia. Its territory is generally flat and covers an area of 582 thousand square meters or approximately one-and-a-half times the size of Japan. It has a sub-tropical climate, with much of the country being arid or semi-arid. Annual rainfall averages 400mm nationwide, with southwestern regions seeing the least precipitation (250mm) and southeastern areas the most (600mm). Rainfall levels are seasonally affected and unstable. Botswana has few surface water resources in consequence of its topographical and geographical features and sources the majority of its water from groundwater fossil resources. At the time of appraisal, the water supply rate was 100 percent in urban areas centered around the capital, Gaborone, but in view of the fact that demand was growing at exponential rates, large-scale development of underground water was problematic and water resources around the capital had been developed, the country was considering water transmission from other regions. In addition, Gaborone was importing water on a regular basis from South Africa and the country harbored a long-cherished wish to develop independent national water resources. By contrast, the water supply rate in the regions was 50 percent and reliant on groundwater.

SERETSE KHAMA IAN KHAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANA, TO THE FIRST SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT - “MOVING BOTSWANA FORWARD” INTRODUCTION 1. Madam Speaker, before we begin may I request that we observe a moment of silence for those of our citizens who have departed from us during the past year. Thank you. 2. Honourable Members, it is my pleasure to once more present an updated assessment of how Government intends to move Botswana forward by seizing opportunities to secure our future. 3. As this is the first session of the 11th Parliament, let me preface my remarks by welcoming the newly elected members of this Assembly. Let me further congratulate you Madam Speaker on your own election. 4. Today's gathering is an outcome of our 11th consecutive general election. As is our tradition, the ballot was conducted in a peaceful, free and fair manner. For this we can once more thank Batswana in general, as well as the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and other individuals and organisations that helped to ensure the poll’s success. 5. In any democracy elections are the means to the greater end of forming a Government capable of translating the popular will into public service delivery. We who have the honour of sitting in this House are accountable to the hundreds of thousands who entrusted us with their votes. Although divided in their choices, the voters were united by a shared desire for a better future. It is, therefore, our responsibility to ensure that together we deliver that future by at all times putting the national interest before our own.

Madam Speaker, may I request that we observe a minute of silence for those who have departed during the past year. I thank you. 2. Madam Speaker, it is once again my pleasure to report on Government’s perspective of where we are and where we intend to go along our path towards an even better Botswana. In this journey Government’s goals have been constant. • We continue to seek a Botswana where sustained development is achieved through inclusive, diversified economic growth that further advances us to high income status; • As democrats, we remain committed to ensuring that our citizens are politically and socially, as well as economically, empowered to live dignified lives; • We are steadfast in our commitment that the custodians of our future, our talented youth, possess the moral and intellectual discipline, as well as material means, to take full advantage of emerging opportunities, while overcoming any challenges they may face, in this ever changing globalised world; • We thus envision a society in which all shall share in the resources of our homeland through common values, as well as rights and responsibilities. 3. As our resources are finite, we must focus on our national priorities; which include accelerated job creation, the eradication of abject poverty and the provision of quality education. We will also have to continue to commit considerable resources to improving health care, including the war on HIV/AIDS.

Prior to this, the office compiled two editions of Botswana Environment Statistics in 2000 and 2006 respectively, in which Water Resource Chapter was included. The publication has been necessitated by the global recognition of the need to incorporate considerations for the sustainable use of safe water in the socio-economic development planning process so as to ensure that the socio- economic development achieved is also sustainable. The CSO did not conduct any survey to come up with data presented in this publication, rather the department used secondary data collected from various government departments, ministries, parastatal organizations, private companies and NGOs. Data in tables whose source(s) is (are) not indicated are from other Central Statistics Publications. Data was collected from Water Utilities Corporation, Ministry of Local Government, Department of Water Affairs, different District Councils across the country and publications such as ‘Botswana National Water Master Plan 2004’ and ‘Inventory of Wetlands in Botswana’. The Pressure-State-Response Model was used in preparing this publication. It was not possible to get the required data on all the variables that were necessary for the analysis and/or monitoring of the sustainable use of water resources and impact of anthropogenic activities on water sources.

  • An Archaeological Examination of Ostrich Eggshell Beads in Botswana
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies vol. 15 no. 1 An archaeological examination of ostrich eggshell beads in Botswana Milton C. Tapela Ostrich eggshell beads are common on archaeological sites of the last few thousand years in southern Africa. It is generally thought that the indigenous hunter-gatherers made these and occasionally traded them to Iron Age herders and farmers. But beads on hunter-gatherers' sites in Botswana are shown to be smaller than beads found on herders and farmers' sites. This suggests that herders and farmers may have made their own ostrich eggshell beads. In cases where identification is uncertain, bead sizes may now help distinguish a site occupants' culture and economy. This research concerns ostrich eggshell beads from Iron Age and Late Stone Age sites in Botswana. Studies in South Africa and Namibia have shown a significant size difference between ostrich eggshell beads found on herders' and hunters' sites. Hunters apparently made smaller ostrich eggshell beads than herders (Jacobson, 1987). The objective of the study is to find out if a similar plttern exists in Botswana. Ostrich eggshell beads have been found on both Iron Age (fanner-herder) and Stone Age (hunter) sites in Botswana. The aim of the study is to measure a sample of these beads in order to see if significant differences exist in sizes.
