There are already a number of developments throughout the river basin with actual or potential effects on water quantity and thus potentially on the ecological functioning of the <strong>Delta</strong>. 278
2.4.3.1 Angola Quantities of water being abstracted in Angola are not well recorded but are thought to be very small. Now at peace and with strong development needs and ambitions, there are currently still no plans to build dams or major abstraction infrastructure on the river; there are also currently no existing structures. This situation is, however, bound to change as Angola develops and its population resettles in the Cubango/Quito river basins. Angola’s demand for abstracted water is going to rise and the possibility of other developments, such as hydroelectric schemes etc., is also bound to increase. 2.4.3.2 Namibia Namibia has a number of existing and proposed water abstraction points for new irrigated agricultural schemes along the river between Nkurenkuru and Mohembo. Another Namibian proposal to abstract 17 MCM per annum from the river at Rundu and to connect this to the country’s Eastern National Water Carrier at Grootfontein has been mothballed for the present but remains a possibility. The total currently abstracted amount is equivalent to 0.134% of mean annual flow and this would rise to 0.154% if the Rundu – Grootfontein pipeline were constructed (ODMP – Inception Report, 2005). From these figures it is apparent that the total combined quantity of water currently being abstracted by all three countries from the river system, and indeed proposed increases in these amounts, is still very small in relation to the mean annual flow of the river. 2.4.3.3 Botswana Botswana currently abstracts water at several points throughout the <strong>Okavango</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> system and is preparing infrastructure to abstract more. The current locations and volumes of existing and proposed abstractions in the ODRS are shown in Table 2-9. Under the proposed Maun Groundwater Development Project (MGDP) and Maun Water Supply and Sanitation Rehabilitation and Upgrade Project (MWSSRUP) the amount of water supplied to the village will be increased (DWA, 2004). The existing abstraction site would be decommissioned.
