Water levels look dam fine
The Citizen
|January 29, 2026
The infrastructure at major dams across Gauteng and the Free State have operated at or above optimal capacity since March last year.
The Vaal Dam, a critical component of SA's water supply infrastructure, has maintained capacity above 100% since then.
Yesterday, the dam recorded 101% as the integrated Vaal River system continues to show robust water levels across multiple reservoirs, according to the latest data from The Reservoir, a water resource information centre for the catchment management forums of the Upper Vaal Water Management Area.
