Dam levels of the Western Cape as verified by DWAF on 17 January 2011.
- Wolwedans Dam level currently at 68.5% vs 36.3% the same time last year.
- Although there has been some heavy rainfall across South Africa,Western Cape dam levels are down 7.4% vs the same week last year.
- Unfortunately there is not a single river in the Western Cape that could be dammed. Due to population growth,we are using more water yet still have the same amount of storage capacity?!
- If the trend continues,the Western Cape will have serious water shortages in the next two years.
