Critically low levels at main reservoir threaten water supply of Namibian capital

WINDHOEK, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Water levels at the reservoir at Von Bach Dam, the third-largest in Namibia and a vital water source for the capital city, Windhoek, are critically low, authorities warn.

The reservoir is now at only 11.3 percent of its capacity, threatening water supply to the capital city and Okahandja, a town about 70 km north of Windhoek.
