Update on Western Cape dam level stats
The official dam level stats in the Western Cape remain good with winter just around the corner. Check out the latest numbers.
The official dam level stats in the Western Cape remain good with winter fast approaching.
The six major dams in the Western Cape – the Berg River, Steenbras Lower, Steenberg Upper, Theewaterskloof, Voelvlei and Wemmershoek – are cumulatively ON PAR on the same date last year.
SLIGHTLY DOWN ON LAST YEAR
The City of Cape Town uploaded its latest stats on Monday, 20 May.
The latest figures show the six dams are a combined 59.9% of total storage.
That’s marginally down from 61.3% the previous week.
A year ago the combined percentage stood at the exact same 61.2%.
Theewaterskloof, which accounts for more than 50% of the province’s total dam capacity (480 188 MI of a total of 898 221 MI) is at 58.7% of capacity, while the next biggest dam, Voëlvlei (164 095 MI), is at 50.2%.
Western Cape residents need no reminding of life during the ‘Day Zero’ water crisis from mid-2017 to mid-2018.
