The steady rainfall over parts of the KwaZulu-Natal has had an impact on at least four of the province's dams.

Durban - The steady rainfall over parts of the KwaZulu-Natal has had a impact on at least four of the province's dams.

He said from that October 31 to November 1, Umzinto Dam, in the Mid South Coast, gained about 19% from weekend rains, while the level of EJ Smith Dam, also in the Mid South Coast, increased by about 5%. The level of the third dam in the region, Nungwane, increased by 2%. "If rains continue, all three dams are expected to be full by the weekend. Rainfall received at five stations on the South Coast at the weekend, namely Umzinto, Nungwane, EJ Smith, Mtwalume and Amanzimtoti, amounted to about 170mm. Forecasts by the South African Weather Service and the International Research Institute for Climate and Society suggest that above average rainfall is expected over South Africa’s East Coast from November 2020 to January 2021.

He said the amount of water in Albert Falls Dam is of concern to Umgeni Water because it is insufficient to meet the needs of its supply area, which is within the eThekwini region.
