Thanks to recent
rainfall, Western Cape dams are filling up.
Most of Western Cape’s
state-owned dams were on average 64% full with a 12% increase last year. Last
year this time, residents in the Western Cape were nervous around the threat of
day zero. The Department of Water and Sanitation said that Western Cape’s
largest dam levels had seen an increase since the start of winter.
According to Eyewitness
News Water and Sanitation department spokesperson Sputnik Ratau said six of the
provinces largest dams reached a capacity of 80%. He added the Department
remains concerned around the slow recovery of dam levels in the Southern Cape
and Karoo region.
