 Namibia: Epupa Dam Study
The feasibility study for the proposed Epupa Dam in Namibia is so riddled with incorrect conclusions, false assumptions and missing data that it cannot be used as a basis for a well-informed decision on the project, according to a group of outside experts who reviewed the massive report.
The Epupa Dam is expected to have a capacity of between 200 to 360 megawatts.
The authors say "the external costs of evaporative losses must be set at nil due to a lack of alternative uses for this water." Setting the value of a natural resource at zero just because it has not been utilized disregards all future possibilities and needs.
