THE national dam levels have declined to an average 71% as at November 1, but the water is still sufficient to meet the domestic and irrigation requirements, Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement chairperson, Justice Mayor Wadyajena has said.

Wadyajena, who read out the committee’s report at the 2018 pre-budget seminar in Bulawayo last week, said the current levels were sufficient to meet the country’s needs.

“The national storage levels are currently at 71,2% (full) as at the 1st of November 2018.
