Due to rapid population growth over time, the importance of freshwater is increasing, and the
availability of this vital resource is becoming progressively more challenging. Consequently …

Nqweba Dam is one of the oldest dams in South Africa and was commissioned in 1925 for
irrigation. The original reservoir depth was 31 m, but over the years sedimentation has …
