While South Africa continues to experience decreasing dam levels, central South Africa is still better off than other regions of the country.
This is according to a report released by the Department of Water and Sanitation this week.
Department spokesperson Sputnik Ratau says the Bloemfontein System, with 4 dams serving mainly Mangaung, decreased by only 1,2% to 45%, compared to 31,3% during the same time last year.
By comparison, the report paints a bleak picture of two drought-stricken Western Cape dams, Gamka and Gamkapoort, which are virtually empty at 0, 0%.
They are followed by Floriskraal and Stompdrift whose levels are 4, 1% and 4, 7% respectively.
