Estimated 5 000 still functioning • Water quality problems – groundwater requires treatment • Recharge of groundwater reliant on rainfall – therefore it requires good management to avoid depletion through over-pumping 18 ACHIEVEMENTS: Source Development – Groundwater USE MILLION % OF TOTAL M3/ANNUM USE IRRIGATION 275 (50 580 60 ha) LIVESTOCK 8 2 RURAL 117 25 COMMUNITIES MUNICIPALITIES 30 6 MINING 32 7 TOTAL 462 100 19 Groundwater level (m) 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 Apr-72 Apr-73 Apr-74 Apr-75 Apr-76 Apr-77 Apr-78 Groundwater level time serie ofstation A7N549 (Sterkloop Apr-79 Apr-80 Apr-81 Apr-82 Apr-83 Apr-84 Apr-85 Apr-86 Route Polokwane Time interval (month) Apr-87 Apr-88 A7N0549SLoop-_farm Apr-89 Apr-90 Apr-91 Apr-92 Apr-93 Apr-94 Apr-95 Apr-96 Apr-97 Apr-98 Apr-99 Apr-00 Apr-01 Farm Apr-02 Apr-03 ) Apr-04 Apr-05 Apr-06 20 Apr-07 Apr-08 Apr-09 Apr-10 ACHIEVEMENTS: Bulk Infrastructure • Due to water scarcity and uneven rainfall patterns (see next slide), Limpopo requires on water transfers over large distances • Major Schemes Developed ¾ Olifants-Sands (Link Flag Boshielo to Polokwane) ¾ Lebalelo (Link Sekhukhune to Olifants River) ¾ Levhubu Government Water Scheme (Link Vhembe to Xikundu Weir) ¾ Silwane-Nondweni (Link Giyani Scheme to Nondweni Weir) 21 ACHIEVEMENTS: Bulk Infrastructure (Ongoing Planning) Project Allocation Allocation Allocation Project Name No. 07/08(RM) 08/09(RM) 09/10(RM) Botlokwa RWS (Molemole LM Surface Water Augmentation Options) Reconnaissance Study LPR 001 1,000,000 1,400,000 600,000 in process (Capricorn) Nzhelele RWS (Vhembe) LPR 002 750,000 500,000 500,000 Lephalale Bulk Water Augmentation (Eskom) LPR 003 1,000,000 1,800,000 1,900,000 (Waterberg DM, Lephalale LM) Magalies Water to Waterberg (Waterberg DM) LPR 004 800,000 1,318,000 700,000 Makhado West (Sinthumule Kutama) (Vhembe) LPR 005 1,000,000 1,244,000 1,900,000 Nwamitwa RWS (Great Letaba) (Mopani) - In LPR 006 1,500,000 700,000 620,000 process
