Review of Groundwater Resources in the Orange River Catchment Report
The Orange River Basin extends into four countries; Republic of Botswana, The Kingdom
of Lesotho, the Republic of Namibia, and the Republic of South Africa. It includes the total
land area of Lesotho, most of the central part of South Africa and reaches to the southern
part of Botswana as well as draining most of the southern half of Namibia. The Orange-
Senqu River Commission (ORASECOM) came into existence on 3rd November 2000 by
agreement among the four basin member states in terms of the SADC Protocol on Shared
Watercourse Systems, with one of the primary aims being the integrated development and
management of the water resources of the Orange River to the mutual and equitable
benefit of all parties.
