In the Midlands, Sebakwe Dam is currently sitting at 100 percent, while Insiza Dam has reached 89.5 percent, reflecting a strong recovery following a good rainy season. These levels are expected to significantly support irrigation activities, domestic water supply, and livestock sustenance in the province. However, Inyankuni Dam presents a point of concern, standing at just 31.3 percent, indicating uneven water distribution across the region.
Nationally, dam levels average 93.4 percent, signaling improved water availability across the country.
