South Africa: Water and Sanitation On Northern Cape Water Supply

press release

Water availability in the Northern Cape is at 91.6% full. This is according to the latest Weekly State of Reservoirs Report issued on 11 May 2021. This means that the Northern Cape's Full Water Supply Capacity (FSC) of 146.3 million m3 is currently at 134.1 million m3.

The agricultural sector, mining, industry and all residents of the Northern Cape are urged to continue using water wisely and sparingly. Report all who are using water illegally, that is, those without a water use license, those who are abstracting more water than allocated, water thieves, and water and sanitation infrastructure vandals by reporting them to the Department of Water and Sanitation's toll free number 0800 200 200. It is also illegal to divert a water course or stream to store the water for personal activities.
