The most recent hydrological report reveals that the majority of Western Cape river catchments are currently maintaining levels exceeding 90%, a milestone last observed a decade ago.
One notable example is the Theewaterskloof Dam, which is the largest dam in the region and responsible for supplying 54% of the province’s water. It is now at full capacity, standing at 100%, in stark contrast to its low of 26.97% during the City of Cape Town’s Day Zero water crisis.
