9. ZIMBABWE NATIONAL WATER AUTHORITY
CATEGORY 1: WEBSITE ANALYSIS
http://zinwa.co.zw/
The website is basic and easy to navigate. It lists the working hours of the authority. Only the Dam Levels tab is
updated regularly. The Projects tab does not have information on the projects being implemented. Instead, there
are pictures with no captions. The portal also has the water connection application form and the online client
feedback form, which can also be used as the complaint or request form.
The authority has vibrant social media platforms with Instagram, Linkedin, X and Facebook accounts.
