KZN facing worst drought since 1982

Sheesh, my pool , paddling pool and bird bath have all been overflowing this weekend. And my grass near some of the gutters is getting to 20cm+ levels.

Haven't been able to mow due to rain last two weekends.

Shees where are you? We can't even run our pool pump the water level is so low. So now the pool is nice and green with plenty of sediment in it and we also had about 5 days with nothing but a faint trickle of water.

Never heard of that, they are currently raising Hazelmere dam wall. All the new lines stem from Midmar, then there are the lines running from Hazelmere and then there are new lines and dams been constructed up the north coast, new lines and dams inland from Midmar.

It is one section of the construction industry that is actually rather busy thanks to Umgeni and EWS.

There was a rumor going around that they had, or were building such a pipeline but had stopped 1km short.

Given that you obviously know more about this than me, that doesn't seem the case.

Between Pinetown and Queensbourgh in the Umbilo river valley. It's been very wet.

They did build it...

It wasn't all that successful from what I know... Ended quite far from the dam...
