Neckartal Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Neckartal Dam, nicknamed the Desert Dragon, is a dam in the Berseba Constituency of Namibia's southern ǁKaras Region. It is a curved gravity dam on the Fish River near Berseba, c. 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of the regional capital Keetmanshoop. Construction started in 2013 and was initially expected to finish in 2017. Since its completion in 2018, it is the largest dam in Namibia, more than three times the capacity of the Hardap Dam upstream. The dam's purpose is to support a 5,000 hectares (12, 000 acres) irrigation scheme which has yet to be established.
