It is a curved gravity dam on the Fish River near Berseba, {{circa}} {{Convert|40|km}} northwest of the regional capital Keetmanshoop. Construction started in 2013 and was initially expected to finish in 2017. Once completed, it will be the largest dam in Namibia, almost three times the capacity of the Hardap Dam upstream. The dam's purpose is to support a {{Convert|5000|ha}} irrigation scheme nearby.[1] ConstructionThe idea to construct a dam near Keetmanshoop already came up during the German colonialisation. Upon Namibian independence in 1990, the planning slowly started.[1] Although hailed as a promising job creation project, particularly after commission due to the purpose as an irrigation dam, there were doubts over the necessity to build it. Naute Dam in the same area, likewise an irrigation dam, is under-utilised. However, for an irrigation scheme of {{Convert|5000|ha}} as envisaged for the Neckartal Dam, Naute Dam was deemed too small.[2] Italian company Salini Impregilo was awarded the 2.8 billion N$ tender to build the dam in March 2012. After a legal challenge by one competitor, the tender was withdrawn but reawarded to the same company in August 2013. Construction started it within a month. Originally planned to take 3 years, the project has been delayed by a court case and labour unrest. It is now expected to be completed in 2017, after which the filling-up phase will last another two years.[1][3] Building processReferences1. ^1 2 {{Cite web | title=Neckartal Dam: Making a Desert Bloom | publisher=Salini Impregilo | date=7 April 2016 | url=https://www.webuildvalue.com/en/works-and-projects/neckartal-dam-making-a-desert-bloom.html}} 2. ^{{Cite news | title=Neckartal Dam questioned | last=Cloete | first=Luqman | newspaper=The Namibian | date=8 January 2010 | page=1 | url=http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=61448&page=archive-read}} 3. ^{{Cite news | title=Neckartal Dam 44% complete | newspaper=The Namibian | date=4 February 2016 | page=5 | url=http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?page=archive-read&id=147006}} 4 : Keetmanshoop|Dams in Namibia|Dams under construction|Buildings and structures in ǁKaras Region |
