The Department of Water and Sanitation’s Hydrological Monitoring and Forecasting System is, for the first time in four (4) days, showing a decrease in water inflow from upstream the Vaal River into the Vaal Dam. Despite this forecast, the 12 opened sluice gates will remain open and the water outflow at Bloemhof Dam be kept at 3 200 cubic metres per second in order the allow the water levels in the dams to be at its required capacity. The Vaal dam is currently sitting at 119% full while Bloemhof Dam is at 109.67%.
