The level of the Vaal Dam has improved to 78.8% as this year's summer season delivers much-needed rains.For the second consecutive week, the Sterkfontein Dam is hovering above the 100% mark. On Friday, the water department said its level was recorded at 100.5%, while last year at the same time it stood at 94.8%. The Sterkfontein Dam is one of 14 dams in the Integrated Vaal River System and is used to replenish the system in times of need.
The Mohale Dam in Lesotho recorded a slight improvement to 38.5%. In the comparative week last year, the dam was at a very low 4.4% and had been on a decline for months. The second highest dam in the IVRS, also in Lesotho, the Katse Dam is currently at 71.6%. During the same period last year, the dam stood at 25.5%.The Grootdraai Dam, however, is at 72.5% — lower compared to last year’s level during the same week, when it was at 82.7%.
Overall, the IVRS is at 81.5%, higher compared to the previous year at the same time when it was at 57.3%.
So when the dam water level drops it is because of poor management
Why is it not full?
Nature has a funny way of taking care of itself. Man on the other hand now that's where the problem comes in.
They must build new dams or catchment, whatever it's called... Now this much can't go to waste
Good, ha ene pula
Atleast some good news
Build my catchment areas to store bulk..we have Half of Africa now dwellers of South Africa...MYANC
Amasimba wona how many %?
A blessing from God. May His name be glorified.
Soon this water will go missing and a commission will have to be set up.
78 for Vaal dam is not enough. The evaporation rate of the dam is high. Sterkfontein mostly gets water from Eskom pumped storage. Mohale and Katse dams are showing some improvement. Better than nothing
We no more sinning
Wow ok
Baloyi are going to drain this dam overnight because Ramaphosa administration hate the poor. Electricity, SOEs, everything that is destined to the poor is sabotaged. Next year early you'll hear nyweee nyweee the same is broken or cracked. Dilo tse ke baloyi
