WATER LEVEL MONITORING
 1182 coordinates of Water-level
Monitoring boreholes were captured in an
M/S Access file during the Quantification
Project (the file is attached to GRIM).
 It contains more than 1.1 Mio water levels
measured between July 1907 and
January 2011.
 I addition to that numerous water-level
recorder charts are stored in
Geohydrology’s Record Room

ABSTRACTION DATA
 Abstraction data are available for the
NamWater schemes (Aranos,
Leonardville, Stampriet, Gochas and
Kries)
 Some production data may be found in
the files of DWA Law Administration
 Bases on farm size, carrying capacity the
abstraction for stock watering can be
calculated.
 Some info is in the 2001 Hydrocensus
files
HYDROGEOLOGY
AQUIFER PARAMETERS
 During the JICA project 1999 to 2002
boreholes into Kalahari; Auob; and Nossob
aquifers were drilled at 13 sites. From
pumping tests of these holes, T- and S-
values are available
 Values from older observation holes at
Olifantswater W; Tugela and Galton are also
on record.
 Some holes drilled by DWA during the JICA
and IAEA projects have also been pump
tested.
 Vogel had the permeability of a core sample
determined.

UHLENHORST CLOUD BURST
24-25 FEBRUARY 1960
 Schalk (1960) calculated the amount
of water that infiltrated after the
cloudburst as approximately:
Q = 100 * 106 [m3]
but did not estimate the proportion
that might have reached the artesian
aquifers.
 The artesian water abstraction then
was estimated at
44 000 m3/d or 16 * 106 [m3/a]
SAB RECHARGE (SCHALK)
 Vogel et al. (1982) applied Darcy’s Law:
Q = kD * b * i [m3/d]
using an average gradient i = 1/1000, an
average transmissivity kD = 11.3 m2/d
and an aquifer width b = 55 km above
Stampriet. This resulted in an average
annual recharge rate for the Stampriet
surrounding of:
Q = 0.68 * 106 [m3/a]

 PCI (2002) have calculated the combined
recharge for all three aquifers using
different approaches:
1. Modeling (a)1): 21 * 106 [m3/a]
2. Modeling (b): 87 * 106 [m3/a]
3. Water Balance (a): 105 * 106 [m3/a]
4. Water Balance (b): 341 * 106 [m3/a]
5. Water Balance (c): 1 550 * 106 [m3/a]
The 4 to 15 times varying values allow not
to decide on a correct mean recharge rate.

GROUNDWATER CONTROL AREAS
Amongst others the Stampriet Artesian
Basin (SAB) is a Groundwater Control Area.
Regulations require that:
 A permit is obtained to drill a borehole.
• If drilled into the artesian aquifer the
borehole must be cased and the casing
be sealed in the overlying aquiclude.
 A permit is furthermore required for
irrigation of areas > 1 ha.
• If the permit is granted monthly
abstraction quantities must be
supplied to Water Affairs.

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS
Many farmers tend not to comply fully with
the regulations:
 Boreholes are drilled or deepened
without a permit
 Casing requirements are not complied
with
 Abstraction readings are not supplied
In order for the GROWAS database to get up to date, a
closer cooperation with the farmers is crucial and recent visits
show that most of the irrigation farmers are not fully informed
about the rules and regulations concerning their irrigation
abstraction permit or mislead by the former owners of the
former neighbors. Field investigations and the direct
interaction with farmers . . are appreciated by almost all
farmers. Many of the farmers visited in the Upper Hardap
Region had no idea of a WW number belonging to their
boreholes and had no platelets attached to the boreholes.
•Through common hearsay by farmer visited on this area it seems that there
has been a (Foul Worm) in the whole process from the beginning and that
many feel that the current water committee in this area favors some above
others and turn the irrigation quotas of those not in their favor down.
•Some farmers told us that abstraction returns in the Stampriet area are up to
80% bias.
•Prosopis trees seem to be a big problem on most farms as they can take up
to 70 liters of water per hour

LEGISLATION: RESEARCH
 In 2004 an Act was promulgated that
regulates a.o. research activities.
 Regulations were enacted in 2011.
According to the Act it is unlawful to do any
research in Namibia unless an application
has been made to the
NATIONAL COMMISSION ON
RESEARCH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
and the Commission has given their
approval.

IMPACTS ON RECHARGE
1. DAMS
The alluvial aquifer(s) along the Nossob Rivers are
mainly affected.
1. Farm Dams in the upper reaches of the Black
Nossob River reduce the run-off.
2. The Daan Viljoen Dam together with the Tilda
Viljoen Dam at Gobabis have the same effect
3. The Otjivero Dam in the White Nossob River near
Omitara also reduces recharge of the alluvial
aquifer.

IMPACTS ON WATER QUALITY
1. Nitrate pollution
During data processing of the CSIR water quality
data
Gideon Tredoux and Jürgen Kirchner noticed that
statistically water samples from the oldest boreholes
showed higher nitrate concentration than those from
younger boreholes.
As farmers generally have their kraals and stock
watering troughs next to the boreholes we concluded
that the higher nitrate could be ascribed to wetted
dung by overflowing reservoir and troughs.
2. Irrigation return flow
Artificial fertiliser might also be a cause for concern.

IMPACT OF ABSTRACTION
When drilled after World War II the lowermost free-
flowing boreholes along the Auob River were on the
farms Wildmoor and Kalverhok upstream of Gochas.
These boreholes have stopped flowing a long time
ago.
In the areas upstream water levels have, however
always recovered again after extraordinary rainfall
events.
In the long run abstraction (plus leakage) and
recharge appear to be in equilibrium.

The model
 accurately simulates the general groundwater flow pattern
within the SAB.
 provide a reasonable (transient) calibration of the long-term
changes in groundwater levels since 1970.
The model does not
 achieve accuracy of <10m in the predicted groundwater levels
within large portions of the basin.
 accurately predict the occurrence of artesian conditions.
 provide a reliable prediction of short-term (month to month)
variations in the groundwater levels.
 incorporate the Nossob Aquifer & the Neu Loore Fm.
 distinguish between the 5 individual units within the Auob Fm.
 consider spatial variability in hydraulic properties within the
Kalahari sediments.
DISCUSSION (1)
DISCUSSION (2)
 Results indicate that most years contribute little or nothing to
recharge whereas a few exceptional rainfall years may replenish the
systems for years to come.
 During the last 35 years substantial recharge occurred only three
times, namely during the rainy season of the years 1974, 1976 and
2000.
 Need to revise conceptual model based on new findings
 Need to recalibrate numerical model based on new calibration data

DISCUSSION
 The Kalahari is
compartmentalised.
 The concept of a continuous
uniform Stampriet aquifer is a
simplification.
 Even a uniform trippel-aquifer
system isn’t applicable
The thickness of the


Rainfall/Recharg
e

only. Mean Rainfall in the NE
is about 400 mm/a and
in the SW about 200
mm/a.
DISCUSSION
 A further problem is that the artesian aquifers in
the Transnossob have not been recharged
since the last Pluvial.
 Water-level
contours there
reflect rather
the
transmissivity
(lower at higher
elevations) and
not recent
recharge areas.

  • 38.  Schalk (1960) calculated the amount of water that infiltrated after the cloudburst as approximately: Q = 100 * 106 [m3] but did not estimate the proportion that might have reached the artesian aquifers.  The artesian water abstraction then was estimated at 44 000 m3/d or 16 * 106 [m3/a] SAB RECHARGE (SCHALK)
  • 39.  Vogel et al. (1982) applied Darcy’s Law: Q = kD * b * i [m3/d] using an average gradient i = 1/1000, an average transmissivity kD = 11.3 m2/d and an aquifer width b = 55 km above Stampriet. This resulted in an average annual recharge rate for the Stampriet surrounding of: Q = 0.68 * 106 [m3/a] SAB RECHARGE (VOGEL ET AL.)

  • 45. LEGALASPECTS GROUNDWATER CONTROL AREAS Amongst others the Stampriet Artesian Basin (SAB) is a Groundwater Control Area. Regulations require that:  A permit is obtained to drill a borehole. • If drilled into the artesian aquifer the borehole must be cased and the casing be sealed in the overlying aquiclude.  A permit is furthermore required for irrigation of areas > 1 ha. • If the permit is granted monthly abstraction quantities must be supplied to Water Affairs.
  • 46. LEGALASPECTS IRRIGATION IN THE STAMPRIET ARTESIAN BASIN
  • 47. LEGALASPECTS PRACTICAL PROBLEMS Many farmers tend not to comply fully with the regulations:  Boreholes are drilled or deepened without a permit  Casing requirements are not complied with  Abstraction readings are not supplied
  • 48. In order for the GROWAS database to get up to date, a closer cooperation with the farmers is crucial and recent visits show that most of the irrigation farmers are not fully informed about the rules and regulations concerning their irrigation abstraction permit or mislead by the former owners of the former neighbors. Field investigations and the direct interaction with farmers . . are appreciated by almost all farmers. Many of the farmers visited in the Upper Hardap Region had no idea of a WW number belonging to their boreholes and had no platelets attached to the boreholes. •Through common hearsay by farmer visited on this area it seems that there has been a (Foul Worm) in the whole process from the beginning and that many feel that the current water committee in this area favors some above others and turn the irrigation quotas of those not in their favor down. •Some farmers told us that abstraction returns in the Stampriet area are up to 80% bias. •Prosopis trees seem to be a big problem on most farms as they can take up to 70 liters of water per hour LEGALASPECTS FROM A TECHNICIAN REPORT:
  • 49. LEGALASPECTS LEGISLATION: RESEARCH  In 2004 an Act was promulgated that regulates a.o. research activities.  Regulations were enacted in 2011. According to the Act it is unlawful to do any research in Namibia unless an application has been made to the NATIONAL COMMISSION ON RESEARCH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY and the Commission has given their approval.

  • 52. ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTS IMPACTS ON RECHARGE 1. DAMS The alluvial aquifer(s) along the Nossob Rivers are mainly affected. 1. Farm Dams in the upper reaches of the Black Nossob River reduce the run-off. 2. The Daan Viljoen Dam together with the Tilda Viljoen Dam at Gobabis have the same effect 3. The Otjivero Dam in the White Nossob River near Omitara also reduces recharge of the alluvial aquifer.

  • 54. ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTS IMPACTS ON WATER QUALITY 1. Nitrate pollution During data processing of the CSIR water quality data Gideon Tredoux and Jürgen Kirchner noticed that statistically water samples from the oldest boreholes showed higher nitrate concentration than those from younger boreholes. As farmers generally have their kraals and stock watering troughs next to the boreholes we concluded that the higher nitrate could be ascribed to wetted dung by overflowing reservoir and troughs. 2. Irrigation return flow Artificial fertiliser might also be a cause for concern.

  • 56. ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTS IMPACT OF ABSTRACTION When drilled after World War II the lowermost free- flowing boreholes along the Auob River were on the farms Wildmoor and Kalverhok upstream of Gochas. These boreholes have stopped flowing a long time ago. In the areas upstream water levels have, however always recovered again after extraordinary rainfall events. In the long run abstraction (plus leakage) and recharge appear to be in equilibrium. .
