DOWNSTREAM SPILL: INCREASED WATER FLOW GETS LOUDER AND LARGER THAN NORMAL

- Enkosi Selane

The majestic Augrabies Falls are flowing at an impressive 2,361 cubic metres per second as of yesterday, following heavy rain that filled the Vaal Dam to over capacity.

The flow rate increased by 1,561 cubic metres since Friday – this is a whopping 195.13% increase.

Genevieve Maasdorp from South African National Parks (SANParks) confirmed that multiple sources, including the Vaal River, contribute to determining the water level at Augrabies Falls National Park.

"The water level at Augrabies Falls National Park is determined by the Vaal and Orange Rivers as well as the Vaal, Gariep and Bloemhof Dams," Maasdorp said.

The recent surge in the Vaal River's flow has generated excitement among nature enthusiasts, with many anticipating an extraordinary spectacle at the Augrabies Falls National Park.
