A US Think Tank recommends that Botswana prioritize water security significantly

News Image A recent report from a US-based think tank situated in Washington D.C. emphasizes the necessity for Botswana to optimize the utilization of natural resources, particularly water, crucial for economic and social advancement, with its security being of utmost importance in 2024. Detailed in their recently published Foresight Africa 2024 report, which highlights critical issues and foremost concerns for the African continent, the Brookings Institution underscores the escalating value of water as a vital resource essential for the welfare of many Batswana, stressing the need for prudent management.

Despite an average annual rainfall of 423 cubic kilometers over the Angolan Highlands Water Tower (AHWT), the source of the Okavango Delta, the report underscores the imperative for careful resource management. It notes, "While this may appear abundant, prudent management is crucial," pointing out that this water sustains food and water security, supporting the livelihoods of millions across seven countries, including Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia.
