Five dams that provide residents with potable drinking water in the area of Cape Town have reached full capacity.This is according to a report based on information from the City of Cape Town and the National Department of Water and Sanitation, which routinely monitor dam levels to gauge the availability of water in the area and decide whether water restrictions for locals and businesses are required.
This system provides irrigation water for agriculture as well as water to towns in the Overberg, Boland, West Coast, and Swartland regions, in addition to serving Cape Town. The province has recently experienced heavy rainfall, which has significantly increased the dam levels. This report follows those events.Cape Town nearly reached ‘Day Zero’
Strict water restrictions and a coordinated effort by residents to conserve water helped avert the crisis.
