The most frustrating thing about watching the dam levels is that it may be raining over Chez MyPE and making greenery, well, green but at the same time the damn dams may not be receiving a smidgin of much needed rain.
The previous week’s inflows have helped our dam levels (MARGINALLY) with only two of the metros five major dams reporting a drop in level over last weeks figures – The Churchill amd Loerie Dams reported a combined drop of 482 megalitres on last week.
The overall increase in dam capacity of 2 125 megalitres quickly dashes expectations when you realise that it only represents a 0.76% increase in total capacity.
We have a long way to go still people – hang in there!
