It is located on the border with Angola on the river Kunene. The town is known for the picturesque Ruacana Falls nearby, and for the Ruacana Power Station. Ruacana was developed around a major underground hydroelectric plant linked to the nearby dam across the border in Angola at Calueque. The dam and pumping station were bombed in a Cuban airstrike in 1988, during the Angolan Civil War. The facility was partially repaired and today NamPower operates three turbines producing a maximum of 240 megawatts.[3] OvaZemba and OvaHimba people are native to the area. The name Ruacana originated from one of the first settlers in Ruacana called Ruhakana. The town was therefore named after Mr. Ruhakana although it is currently written as Ruacana.[4]Ruacana's settlement status was upgraded to that of a village in 2005, and to town in 2010.[5] It is now governed by a town council that has seven seats.[6] The 2015 local authority election was won by SWAPO which gained six seats and 826 votes. The remaining seat went to the National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) which gained 53 votes.[7] The place normally receives an annual average rainfall of {{convert|426|mm}}, although in the 2010/2011 rainy season {{convert|960|mm}} were measured.[8] The {{Convert|600|ha}} farm Etunda is situated near Ruacana. It is run as a government supported irrigation scheme and has been established in 1993. Half of the farm is commercial irrigation land, the other half is allocated to 82 small-scale farmers. Etunda cultivates maize, wheat, watermelons, bananas, and other produce.[9] References1. ^{{cite web | title=Table 4.2.2 Urban population by Census years (2001 and 2011) | url=http://cms.my.na/assets/documents/p19dmn58guram30ttun89rdrp1.pdf | work=Namibia 2011 - Population and Housing Census Main Report | publisher=Namibia Statistics Agency | accessdate=24 August 2016 | page=39}} 2. ^ 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=28&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=79260&no_cache=1|title=Ruacana power plant running at full throttle|last=Smit|first=Nico|date=16 March 2011|work=The Namibian}} 4. ^Alexactus T Kaure (25 November 2011): "To Recognise or Not: Ovazemba Quest For A Chief", The Namibian, page 1 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201109070742.html|title=Ruacana unveils new road, hall|last=Shaanika|first=Helvy|date=7 September 2011|newspaper=New Era|publisher=via allafrica.com}} 6. ^{{Cite news | title=Know Your Local Authority | publisher=Institute for Public Policy Research | newspaper=Election Watch | year = 2015 | issue=3 | page=4}} 7. ^{{cite web | title=Local elections results | publisher=Electoral Commission of Namibia | page=6 | url=http://www.ecn.na/documents/27857/218731/LA+results+%28press+release%29+2015.pdf/870a030b-8547-487f-ad18-b22713b16d4c?version=1.0 | date=28 November 2015 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210194328/http://www.ecn.na/documents/27857/218731/LA+results+%28press+release%29+2015.pdf/870a030b-8547-487f-ad18-b22713b16d4c?version=1.0 | archivedate=10 December 2015 | df= }} 8. ^{{cite news |url = http://www.namibian.com.na/news/full-story/archive/2011/may/article/rainy-season-was-one-for-the-record-books/ |title = Rainy season was one for the record books |last = Menges |first = Werner |date = 26 May 2011 |newspaper = The Namibian |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20111215044804/http://www.namibian.com.na/news/full-story/archive/2011/may/article/rainy-season-was-one-for-the-record-books/ |archivedate = 15 December 2011 |df = }} 9. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.mawf.gov.na/Programmes/etunda.html |title = Etunda Irrigation Scheme |publisher = Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, Government of Namibia |accessdate = 18 February 2012 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120309051700/http://www.mawf.gov.na/Programmes/etunda.html |archivedate = 9 March 2012 |df = }} External links
