The official dam level stats in the Western Cape continue to rise as the first rains of the winter season fall in the province.
The six major dams in the Western Cape – the Berg River, Steenbras Lower, Steenberg Upper, Theewaterskloof, Voelvlei and Wemmershoek – have all seen increases in capacity.
Still down on last year
The City of Cape Town uploaded its latest stats on Saturday, 15 June.
The latest figures show the six dams are a combined 66.3% of total storage.
That’s up from 58.9% the previous week.
A year ago the combined percentage stood at 77.3%.
Theewaterskloof, which accounts for more than 50% of the province’s total dam capacity (480 188 MI of a total of 898 221 MI) is at 62.9% of capacity, while the next biggest dam, Voëlvlei (164 095 MI), is at 56.5%.
