Vaal Dam levels

I am not going to change my water usage patterns because the restrictions are lifted. We have become used to doing some things and that will stay, But what I will do is water parts of the garden that have not been watered properly when it does not rain.
 
Down on the beach this past Sunday morning, North of the Orange river mouth, the sea has turned orange and muddy due to the fresh water pushing out into the Atlantic..... this stretches for about 12km up our coastline and hugs the sandy coast about 1,2km out into the waves.

On the beach, I found a number of salt water fish about 30cm in length, flapping on the sand for air..... with a ton of small harders.... A local fishing type explained to me that the waters become murkey, and the larger fish chase the smaller one's and due to the way our beach rises from the floor then , they cannot see where they are swimming and land up beaching....

I took a photo of the sea and will post when I get into the office...

We are expecting a ton of water to exit the mouth in the next ten -12 days as the Fish River in Namibia is not pushing out a ton of water into the Orange.

Floods in the desert are a thing to behold!
:D
 
Here we go, the below pic taken from the beach on Namibia, about 2km North of the Orange River Mouth looking South towards the mouth. You can just make out the blue clear ocean on the horizon....

Below is one of the fish that are beaching themselves.... not the big furry thing, that's my dug!

Just heard from an expert, that the fish I was finding on the beach, were fresh water Carp , that came down with the elevated river water and were washed out to sea....

Yikes! That's a lot of erosion up river to turn the sea brown. :eek:

Asbestos is only bad if you inhale it. Don't inhale the water Moose. It's bad for your health.

That be the least of my problems, all the roofs in this mining town are asbestos sheets, 80% of the water system is also asbestos piping, Asbestos is fine as long as it does not splinter,

The shelf life is about forty years, we are approaching sixty five with cracked roofing and daily burst pipes.... :(
