Septic tanks and drainage in Upington

Upington is a desert town on the Orange River, where heat, red Kalahari sand and almost no rain define the setting. The town is mostly on the sewer, while irrigation farms at Keimoes, Kakamas, Kanoneiland and Louisvale use septic tanks and soakaways. The sand drains very fast, so effluent can pass through before it is treated, while the high water table beside the river and its canals is a groundwater risk. Guesthouses and lodges serve tourists on the river and run conservancy tanks or treatment plants. Honey sucker operators work from Upington, and long distances along the river road add travel time.
