A windy warm Friday on the last day of our water year in the valley.
May you find the fortune at the end of your rainbow this weekend.

This is the measuring weir at Stuurmanskraal, 70km from the Kouga damwall. The photo's were taken at the beginning of June after the flood. Stuurmans was not built for a 1 in 200 year flood.The maximum it was surveyed for is 2900 cumec. It is estimated that 4000 cumec passed on the 7th of May.The bottom right hand photo indicate how much higher the last flood was in comparison the the previous highest mark.The Department will move the structure out of the flood plain and resurvey the area (which means that it will enable us to read higher volumes passing through the weir), in the next two years.Kouga dam 100.89%, spilling at 20 000 litre per second Loerie dam 78.18%The Metro abstracted 78Ml24Ml was released into Loerie damGroot rivier weir 4.49 cumecBeervlei dam 101.64%, spilling at 1 380 litre per second ...
