Dam Levels – Here is your JOYOUS Moment in a Graph

By

Here at MyGqeberha.com (and MyPE.co.za before) we have been religiously tracking the Dam Levels for many years.

If one lesson can be taken away from this labour of love is that we always seem to escape total depletion of our Dams year after year.

In some strange way – call it the hand of god, the power of prayer or just mother nature ensuring that her good children do not suffer too much – we always get rainfall in the times when we are not supposed to and in times when the weather gurus have stated that there is no way we will be blessed with rain.

I know that taking such a lesson and applying it to your plans to stay hydrated, clean and with water in your taps could lead to major disappointment BUT so far it has not let me down.

Of course, even before this present round of water restrictions and from the cessation of the last restrictions I have had fun telling people that I have NOT flushed my toilet in over 7 years – there are three buckets permanently in my shower to catch runoff which is used to flush the toilet and water the esential plants.

And now I like to think that my slavish adherence to saving water over all of those years were recognised by the mother nature who has decided to spread the love and bless all with a bit of relief.
