As anticipated because we are in the middle of winter season, the national water levels persist to contract. Weekly status of dam levels issued by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) demonstrate that the amount of water stored in the country’s reservoirs has marginally declined, this is in comparison with last week’s quantity. The overall storage capacity sits at 93.6% this week, a minimal drop from last week’s 93.9%. The only Water Supply System that managed to somehow record an upward movement is Crocodile West increasing slightly from 98.7% to 99.3%. Both Amathole and Umhlathuze Water Supply Systems are unchanged at 76.0% and 100.2% respectively.
