North-South Carrier

The North-South Carrier extends 360 kilometers from northeastern dams to Gaborone, featuring four major pumping stations for water distribution across the region.

Construction of this water infrastructure project began in the late 1990s, with the first phase completed in 2000 to address growing water demands.

The pipeline system transformed water access for communities in eastern Botswana, shifting from traditional groundwater wells to sustainable surface water distribution.

The pipeline operates with a diameter of 1,400 millimeters, transferring water from Letsibogo and Dikgatlhong dams to supply Gaborone's expanding population.

This engineering project created 2,384 jobs in 2017 and provided training to 5,811 local residents while serving as Botswana's largest infrastructure development.
