ZAWinter rains have significantly improved water levels in the Western Cape's reservoirs, bringing major supply systems close to the critical 80% capacity threshold. The Cape Town Water Supply System reached 77.63% capacity, up from 76.94% the previous week. Key reservoirs such as Theewaterskloof Dam increased to 77.78%, while others like Steenbras Upper and Wemmershoek exceeded capacity. The Clanwilliam Dam saw a dramatic rise to 96.00%, compared to 41.42% the prior year. Despite these improvements, officials stress that conservation efforts remain essential to ensure sufficient water supply through the upcoming dry season.
