MIDMAR Dam is currently 70% full after weeks of much needed rain, however, restrictions of 15% in the Mgeni system
remain because of the backlogs in rainfall.
Despite this, the
overall amount of rainfall received in the entire rainfall season is still
below average, resulting in rainfall shortage and insufficient water resources in the Mgeni system,
causing Midmar and Albert Falls dams to remain at low levels.
Umgeni Water Corporate
Stakeholder Manager, Shami Harichunder, said the Joint Operations Committee for the Mgeni system met last month to discussed the slight improvement in the levels of major dams and the amount
of rainfall received in their catchments.
