Our goal was to follow up on a previous study to determine the public perception of the treatment process and the water quality. The broader sample portrayed a lack of awareness of this process and its end product. We recommend the City of Windhoek develop educational campaigns that inform its citizens about the water reclamation process and its benefits. i Executive Summary Introduction and Background Namibia is among the most arid countries in southern Africa. Though it receives an average of 360mm of rainfall each year, 83 percent of this water evaporates immediately after rainfall. Another 14 percent goes towards vegetation, and 1 percent supplies the ground water in the region, thus leaving merely 2 percent for surface use.

    2008 Erosion Control in Otjomuise, Namibia Marissa Gray, Jennifer Keating, Jocelyn Moody, and Daniel Swan Worcester Polytechnic Institute 5/20/2008 CXP Project Number: 51-SBS-8880 43-0803 Erosion Control in Otjomuise, Namibia An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Marissa Gray Jennifer Keating Jocelyn Moody Daniel Swan Date: May 20, 2008 Approved: Professor Creighton Peet, Major Advisor Professor Reinhold Ludwig, Co-Advisor ii Abstract The settlements in Windhoek, Namibia are plagued by erosion problems resulting from severe rainstorms and inefficient use of rainwater. This project focused on the community of Otjomuise, and how various erosion control measures can be implemented to reverse the effects of erosion and utilize rainwater for productive purposes. Working with community members we constructed several structures that served as replicable demonstrations for residents of Otjomuise and surrounding settlements. By working alongside the community we helped mobilize an effort toward erosion control and prevention and effectively improved the sustainability of future projects. iii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people for their contributions to the project: Our sponsors, Professor Jane Gold of the Polytechnic of Namibia and Ms. Anna Müller of the Namibian Housing Action Group; Our advisors, Professor Creighton Peet and Professor Reinhold Ludwig from Worcester Polytechnic Institute; A special thanks to Laudika Kandjinga and Andreas Shigwedha from the Polytechnic of Namibia; Professor Ibo Zimmerman and Professor Collert Moyo from the Polytechnic of Namibia; The transportation staff at the Polytechnic of Namibia; The Namibia Housing Action Group and a special thanks to David Shikoyeni; The Shack Dweller’s Federation of Namibia; A special thanks to Sammi of the Shack Dweller’s Federation of Namibia; A special thanks to Edlagh Ujava of Otjomuise; Dr.
