Namibia is located in southwest Africa, with a vast territory and a small population. Its land area is equivalent to two Germans, with a total population of 2.3 million. Namibia, located between the Namibian desert and kalahari desert, is the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa and suffers from water shortage.

The abundant groundwater found in its northern region is expected to greatly alleviate this crisis. The groundwater discovered in 20 12 can bring continuous drinking water supply to 40% of Namibia's population. According to experts, the water source is clean and pollution-free, which can be used as drinking water and will supply northern Namibia for centuries.
