  • FNB HOUSING INDEX Report for Quarter 3, 2006
    FNB HOUSING INDEX Report for Quarter 3, 2006 Introduction This quarter marks the introduction of a new base period which is Quarter 1 of 2006 of the FNB Quarterly Housing Index. This means that Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of 2006 were benchmarked against Quarter 1 of 2006. The resetting of the base period was as a result of the inclusion of five additional suburbs/areas as reflected in the previous report for Quarter 2, 2006. As a reminder, the additional suburbs/areas are Auasblick, Brakwater, Goreangab, Okuryangava and Wanaheda. The Windhoek overall quarterly index shows a relatively slow increase of 11.6%, a situation that is in line with the economic fundamentals such as rising interest rates and a lower increase in the demand for home loan credit of 3.6% (June to August 2006) compared to an increase of 5.9% in the previous quarter (March to May 2006). This quarter’s index showed relatively small increases or decreases in all the suburbs except for Brakwater, Academia, Eros Park and Hochland Park where moderate to high increases were recorded. These minimal changes are in line with the prevailing high interest rates. The relatively high increase in the suburb indices of Academia, Eros Park and Hochland Park could be ascribed to a high demand for properties in these areas.

  • Final Project Report for 2016 START Grants for Global Change Research in Africa
    Final Project Report for 2016 START Grants for Global Change Research in Africa Project Title Water Security in Windhoek: governance, water demand and supply, and livelihoods in the context of urbanization and climate change Abstract Governance In the study, UJAMS Waste Water Treatment Plant (UWWTP) served as a case study to investigate governance and policy analysis in relation to water security in the city of Windhoek. The study revealed that there are different actors that were involved in discussion and decision making to address the issue of water supply to industries, pollution from industrial effluent and the need to find diverse alternatives to the water insecurity problem that ultimately led to establishment and operation of the (UWWTP) Analysis of Water Management Plan for City of Windhoek 2017 and Transformational Strategic Plan (2017-2022) for City of Windhoek policies revealed that despite being developed recently after the Namibia Climate Change Policy, Strategy and Action Plan had been enacted, very little climate change related issues are mainstreamed and used in these policies despite Windhoek. Water demand and supply In central Namibia, where the Capital Windhoek is hosted, water is very scarce. To cope with the effect of drought, water is transferred from Kombat Karst Aquifer and Von Bach and Swakoppoort dam on the Swakop River. The effect of drought on the Swakop River is not well known. To understand the effect of drought, streamflow, and rainfall data from 1969 to 2016 were collected and analyzed using drought indices such as Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Streamflow Drought Index (SDI). It was found that, drought periods were not continuous and a wet period was always followed.

  • Public Perception of Windhoek's Drinking Water and Its Sustainable
    Public Perception of Windhoek’s Drinking Water and its Sustainable Future A detailed analysis of the public perception of water reclamation in Windhoek, Namibia By: Michael Boucher Tayeisha Jackson Isabella Mendoza Kelsey Snyder IQP: ULB-NAM1 Division: 41 PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF WINDHOEK’S DRINKING WATER AND ITS SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF WATER RECLAMATION IN WINDHOEK, 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 SPONSORING AGENCY: Department of Infrastructure, Water and Waste Management The City of Windhoek SUBMITTED TO: On-Site Liaison: Ferdi Brinkman, Chief Engineer Project Advisor: Ulrike Brisson, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Ingrid Shockey, WPI Professor SUBMITTED BY: ____________________________ Michael Boucher ____________________________ Tayeisha Jackson ____________________________ Isabella Mendoza ____________________________ Kelsey Snyder Abstract Due to ongoing water shortages and a swiftly growing population, the City of Windhoek must assess its water system for future demand. 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.
