INTER WELLFIELD ·i i,.. CO'ISULT in association with BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Keyworth, Nottingham, UK MATSHENG AREA GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION Technical Report T9 August 1995 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Usable potable water supplies are limited to the Matsheng village areas. Economic fresh water supplies identified during recent groundwater investigations are located in village areas of Lokgwabe and Lehututu. Brackish water supplies identified outside the village areas are not available for use by livestock using communal grazing areas as they are either in areas already occupied or in areas with other land use designations. 2. No significant usable water supplies were identified in the communal grazing areas through the MAGI programme, and based on the available geophysical evidence, the chances of striking groundwater supplies for livestock in Matsheng communal areas are poor. 3. Total water consumption in the Matsheng area during the past year (to May 1995) is estimated at 254,200m' (697 m' per day). Of this amount about 150,000 m' (60%) are consumed by livestock watered at about 150 wells, boreholes and dams on pans. 4. Matsheng village households using public standpipes consume about 670 litres per household per week, or 20 litres per person per day (67% of the 30 litre DWA standard rate for rural village standpipe users). Residents of the four RAD settlements served by council bowsers received a ration of about 7 litres per person per day, or just 23% of the DWA standard. -

Botswana Environment Statistics Water Climate
BOTSWANA ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS: WATER & CLIMATE DIGEST 2014 Published by Statistics Botswana Private Bag 0024, Gaborone Phone: 3671300 Email: [email protected] Contact Unit: Environment Statistics Unit Phone: 3671395 Copyright Reserved © 2015 Extracts may be published if Sources are duly acknowledged ISBN: 978-99968-429-8-6 PREFACE This is the first edition of the Botswana Environment: Water and Climate Digest, which eventually will be produced on a quarterly basis. The purpose of the Digest is to provide data for use by decision-makers in water management as well as for monitoring trends related to climate. The indicators in this report cover data on dam levels, water production, rainfall and temperature. The indicators will however be gradually expanded in subsequent editions as more data become available. In compiling this report, international standards and guidelines were followed, particularly the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (UNFDES) and the United Nations International Recommendations for Water Statistics. Eventually, the data collected through these methodologies would feed into the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) for water and hence facilitate an informed management of water resources. The sustained production of the Water and Climate Digest would depend on the cooperation of relevant data providers to provide the necessary data. I therefore would like to extend by gratitude and appreciation to all stakeholders who assisted in the production of this digest, in particular the Water Utilities Corporation and the Department of Meteorological Services for availing the water and climate data as required. For more information and further enquiries, contact the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations at 3671300. -

Original Article Ethnozoological Survey of the Indigenous Knowledge on the Use of Pangolins (Manis Sps) in Traditional Medicine in Lentsweletau Extended Area in Botswana Setlalekgomo M. R. *Botswana College of Agriculture, Private Bag 0027, Gaborone, Botswana. Abstract Animals have played an important role in human life from prehistory. Many animals are used in zootherapy worldwide. However, the zootherapeutic practices by some communities are not well documented and may be forgotten. An ethnozoological study to document indigenous knowledge on the utilisation of pangolins in traditional medicine in Lentsweletau area in Botswana was carried out. A formal questionnaire was administered to 37 informants. The informants were 70.27% males and 29.73% females. The 10.81% of the informants were traditional doctors. Only 67.57% of the informants knew pangolins. The study revealed that most of the informants currently under the age of forty years did not know pangolins. However, the community had several pangolin myths. Pangolins were used mainly in traditional medicine (79.41%) and rarely as bush meat (20.59%) in the past. The study showed that different body parts of pangolins were used as charms and in the treatment of various human ailments like cracked heels, epistaxis, hypertension and psoriasis. The commonly used parts in the treatment of human ailments were blood and scales. -

2017 SEAT Report Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines
SEAT 3 REPORT Debswana - Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mine (OLDM) November 2017 1 2 FOREWORD rounded assessment of the socio-economic impacts of our operation – positive and negative - in our zone of influence. This is the second impact assessment of this nature being conducted, the first one having been carried out in 2014. The information in this socio-economic assessment report helped to improve our understanding of the local dynamics associated with the impact our operation’s that are real and perceived. It also provided us with invaluable insight into our stakeholders’ perspectives, expectations, concerns and suggestions. This report is a valuable tool to guide our thinking on community development and our management of the social impacts of OLDM’s future closure at the end of the life of mine. Furthermore, it provides a useful mechanism in mobilising local stakeholders to work with us towards successful mine closure. The report has also given valuable feedback on issues around mine expansion initiatives and access to resources like land and groundwater. More importantly, meaningful feedback has been provided around two critical areas: resettlement and options around town transformation. We recognise the complexity of a proper plan for future mine closure at the end of the life of mine. In the past, our plans for future mine closure mainly focused on environmental aspects, with community involvement often limited to cursory consultation processes. Today, in line with current trends, my team and I are convinced that community ownership of the post closure goals is the only sustainable means to propel communities to prosper when OLDM is no longer involved. -
