Vaal Dam slowly showing signs of recovery
The dam plummeted to below 39% after a series of heatwaves and dry conditions in the province, but now stands at about 40%, the DWS says.
The department of water and sanitation (DWS) has said the Vaal Dam is starting to show signs of recovery after water levels declined drastically over the past few months.
The dam plummeted to below 39% after a series of heatwaves and dry conditions in the province but now stands at 40%, reports Vaal Weekblad reports.
“Gauteng leads with a significant increase to 111.3%, compared to 88.2% last week. This is within the context that Gauteng dams are significantly smaller than those in the Northern Cape and Free State in terms of volume,” the department said.
According to the department’s website, this time last year, Vaal Dam levels stood at 76.2%.
