Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

The Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) Ltd, hereinafter referred to as the Proponent, supplies water to the Aroab village through the Aroab bulk water supply scheme. According to the assessment of water supply to the Aroab bulk water supply scheme in 2020, the current water supply to Aroab Village Council does not meet the demand. Moreover, the existing collector reservoir and most of the existing pipelines are in a deteriorated state and need replacement. Hence, NamWater has proposed for the extension and upgrading of the Aroab scheme to meet the future water demand and ensure water supply security for the area. The proposed activities will trigger certain activities listed under No. 8 (8.5 and No. 10 (10.1) of Schedule 1 of the EIA Regulations (GN No. 30 of February 2012), therefore cannot be carried out without an EIA being undertaken. Green Gain Consultants cc has been appointed as an independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) by NamWater, to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the proposed Aroab Scheme extension and upgrading.
