INTRODUCTION• The Limpopo Province covers an area of 123 910km2. • It has a total population of about 5.4 million people (2001) and it

contributes approximately 6.5% pf the National GDP (2002). • It is a predominantly rural province with low population density. • It is faced with huge service delivery backlogs. • It also has a problem of unequal and ‘pocket” development with large

disparities between its urban and rural sections: Gini Coefficient =• 0.60 (1998) and 0.63 (2003) i.e. inequality increased.• Human Development Index (HDI) = 0.46 (1998) and 0.49 (2003) i.e.

development increased • Characterized by insufficient bulk infrastructure, thus impacting on the

eradication of the water services backlog. • The province is faced with a sanitation backlog of 600 000 hh• The water backlog stands at 55 000 hh

ACHIEVEMENTS: Source Development - Summary

• Since 1994 R4.7billion has been spent on new dams/weirs to store additional water

• Dams CompletedModjadji Dam (Mopani)Nondweni Weir (Mopani)Xikundu Weir (Vhembe)Nandoni Dam (Vhembe – also supplies Mopani & Capricorn)Flag Boshielo (Sekhukhune) – Raising of dam wallMokolo Dam (Waterberg) – Raising of dam wall

• New Dams Under ConstructionDe Hoop (Greater Sekhukhune – also supplies Mogalakwena & Capricorn WSAs)

• New Planned DamsNwamitwa Dam (Mopani)Glen Alpine Dam (Capricorn) – Raising of Dam wall

1818

ACHIEVEMENTS: Source Development – Groundwater

• Limpopo Ground Water potential (Drainage Areas A and B) 940 million cubic metres (million m3) per year (equivalent to the annual design yield of Vaal Dam 941 million m3 per year)

• Current groundwater use is 462 million m3 per year (see next slide)

• Approx 9 000 boreholes drilled (4 500 since 1994). 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
