BOTSWANA WATER STATISTICS Published by Central Statistics Office Private bag 0024, Gaborone Phone 3671300, Fax 3952201 E-mail: [email protected] Contact Unit: Environment Statistics Phone: 3671345 3692807 3692880 Printed by and Obtainable from: Department of Printing and Publishing Services Private Bag 0081, Gaborone Phone 3953202 Fax 3959392 October 2009 COPYRIGHT RESERVED Extracts may be published if Sources is duly acknowledged PREFACE This is the first edition of ‘Botswana Water Statistics (BWS)’publication produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). 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. Consequently, some parts of the framework, particularly the ‘impact’ component, have not been adequately covered in the publication. For the same reason, the period of reference (base year) is not uniform in all cases within and between chapters. The CSO acknowledges and extends gratitude to various departments and/ or organizations that provided the information used in this publication. Thank you. A. Majelantle Government Statistician i II.

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.

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.

    Botswana North-South Carrier Water Project Field Survey

    Botswana North-South Carrier Water Project Field Survey: July 2003 1. 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.
