No immediate relief for Gaborone Dam

Along its catchment area and extending into South Africa through the South East District, approximately 200 smaller dams, many of which are located on private holdings, feed Gaborone Dam.

Of the smaller dams, none is as significant psychologically as Notwane Dam, which lies a few kilometres upstream of the larger dam.  Thirsty residents of Greater Gaborone with a more than passing knowledge of the catchment area know to watch developments at Notwane Dam for any sign of inflows into Gaborone Dam.
