Dam levels worrying after almost no rain
With barely any rain in the last week, it is worrying that all the dams in our region, except Vergelen, measured levels lower than those of last week.
Ebenezer is at 73.6% after only 3mm of rain, while Magoebaskloof received 1.2mm of rain and is at 100.1%.
Dap Naude had 3.2mm of rain and its level is at 90%.
Ebenezer, Magoebaskloof and Dap Naude are the only places that received rain, according to the Department of Water and Sanitation’s National Water Resource Infrastructure.
Merensky is at a level of 87.2% and Vergelegen at 101.2%.
Tzaneen dam is still at a shocking 36.3%.
Middle Letaba has also seen better days, with its level currently at 27.1% and Thabina also measured a lower level of 19.35%.
Modjadji is also very low, with a level of 21.22%
The dam levels in this report were measured on Monday 25 January and therefore any rain that fell later that day was not included.
