Dam levels remain low in Western Cape

This season’s rains have helped – to some extent – to address the Western Cape’s water shortages, according to the latest data available on the state of the province’s dam levels, provided by the national Department of Water and Sanitation. Western Cape Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Minister Anton Bredell noted that, while increased rainfall over the past four weeks provided some relief, the province was still concerned that most of its biggest dams were still not filling up to the appropriate levels.
