About these numbers
Every week the Department of Water and Sanitation publishes the State of Dams: each dam’s level as a percentage of its full supply capacity, against a week and a year earlier. The national and provincial figures here weight each dam by its capacity, so Gariep counts for more than a farm dam, as DWS’s own totals do.
DWS publishes only the latest week. We keep every week’s report as it comes out, so each dam’s history builds up here from 26 October 2026 on.
