Cape Town’s dam levels are steadily increasing as the rainy winter season progresses, and the deluges that fell over the weekend pushed the Cape’s feeder dam levels up by nearly 3%.
Just last year, Cape Town began the slow road to recovery after a devastating drought. This year, dam levels have begun tentatively creeping past the halfway mark.
An increase of 2.79% was measured after the rain that fell over the course of last week and the weekend, bringing the average level up to 52.59%.
A 2.35% increase was also noted for the Western Cape’s overall dam capacity, bringing it up to 39.38%.
