Location and Background Information This document focuses of on the settlement of the Ga-Makogbodi GWS . This is a rural settlement cluster which is located in the north western part of Aganang Local Municipality (ALM). Capricorn District Municipality is the Water Service Authority (WSA) throughout the MLM. The cluster relies entirely on groundwater from the local aquifer to meet the domestic and agricultural needs. The majority of the settlements are rural and rely on agriculture as the main economic activity. The potential to develop agriculture and tourism within the municipality has been identified as a growth direction, but the lack of infrastructure is seen to be the major threat to local economic development.
