Gaborone Dam needs no �cleaning up�

Gaborone Dam is now at 6.8 percent with its supplies due to run out in under a month. Some experts had expected WUC to take advantage of the dam’s drying to conduct a de-silting exercise.

Yesterday, however, Infrastructure Director, Gaselemogwe Senai, said a hydrographic survey carried out nine years ago showed that there was little or no silt in the dam.  “The survey showed that there was less than five percent of silt at that time,” he said.
