When it rains there is a need to store water before it drains out. Digging oof water reservoirs at prone areas to keep water for the community members during dry seasons and for animals consumptions. Technically, there was suppose to be closed ponds of water in every village made up of different materials. There are villages without animals neither portable water for human consumptions during dry season. The nature of lack of water has become a norm, though its not acceptable in the society, since there are villages out in the north who do not know of tap water irrespective of the season. So, as a country, there is a need to pump flood water into reservoirs and tanks for future relaying.

Drought Season
The year 2023 started off well, with massive rainfalls and thunderstorms. This made tremendous excitement among majority of the northern farmers and they cultivated large portions of land.
Later early February the rain stopped suddenly whereby plants started wilting and some farmers could not sow anymore after cultivating due to lack of rain after all. The whole of February, there was mere drops or either none at some places in the northern part of Namibia. According to some elders in Onanghulo village, they have expressed their concerns that a situation like this happened again the early 1950s and a lot of animals and some human kind suffered starvation. Therefore, it might be a history repeating itself, says Mr Kombaye Johannes.
