Water supplies improve as national dam levels swell
Agriculture Reporter
Zimbabwe’s national dams now hold almost 60 percent of their total capacity, far more than the 48,6 percent this time last year with dams filling and some even spilling owing to the current rains.
Cities and towns are now likely to see their reservoirs fill during the present season, relieving or alleviating raw water shortages, and in the case of Harare ensuring cleaner raw water as Lake Chivero will be partially flushed when it spills.
Farmers will have the dams required for irrigation full, especially important for the next winter copping season.

Bulawayo shelves water shedding. . . intensifies debt collection
Robin Muchetu, Senior Reporter
THE Bulawayo City Council will this week temporarily shelve its excruciating water shedding programme to allow residents to enjoy the festive holiday.
The city has been failing to supply adequate water to most suburbs resulting in a tight water shedding schedule, resulting in some areas only receiving the precious liquid as and when it is available.
Some suburbs have not received tapped water for many months after the council indicated that it will only be able to supply the water if its supply dams receive enough during this rainy season.
