VAAL DAM WATER LEVEL DROPS IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa Government has announced that the Vaal Dam has declined further this week, reaching unprecedented lower levels that are the worst in as many years, as it continues to dramatically fall week-on-week.

The latest development will surely gripped South Africans with fear as water levels keep droping at different Dams all over the country.

According to reports by the Department of Water and Sanitation, the dam fell from 39.6% last week to 38.8% this week. The dam hovered under the neutral 50% mark for a number of months now as shown by the levels of 61.3% at which it stood during the same week last year.

So far, with the steady drop in water level at different Dams, the Department of Water and Sanitation has calls on citizens to do even more to contain the rise in water consumption. They believes that water users’ compliance with appeals to not to use water excessively will help to avoid a potential crisis.

The Department also encourages water users to make a marked improvement in turning the tide against water losses and desisting from watering gardens or using hosepipes to wash cars and cleaning paving. Thus, water users should work together with the Department to avoid the risk of water scarcity as South Africa is an arid country.
