Dear Irrigator
Water allocations 2018/2019
Refer to SMS messages sent out on Thursday 15thJune with regard to the above.
This is to confirm that the Department of Water and Sanitation has introduced the following restrictions on irrigation from Kouga Dam for the 2018/19 water year which commences on 1st July:
20% of full allocation. This is 20% of 8 000 cubic meters per hectare, which is equal to 1 600 cubic meters per hectare.
The availability of this quantity is based on a conservative assumption with regard to the inflow for the full period. Irrigators are therefore requested to use the water evenly over the full year.
Please stay within the following pattern:

Water use will, as in the current year, be monitored properly. Irrigators who abstract excessively, will be reprimanded.
Thank you for your cooperation.
