South Africa’s water levels remain low

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) on Wednesday warned of dwindling water reserves in South Africa’s dams, and pleaded with consumers to continue to save water and the Water Service Authorities to implement water conservation and water demand management strategies. With no significant rain to relieve the pressure on the dams, the average water levels of the national storage of 211 dams decreased slightly week-on-week from 72.9% last week to 72.7% by May 1.
