Didn't they say it could take 5 years to restore levels?

But the joke is on them, I haven't used more than 2kl over the free 6kl allocation since the announcement of restrictions.
 
Maybe we should get these ?

Been discussed in the CT water thread - the dam in the video is tiny compared to our major dams. You're looking at $15billion to cover the Vaal dam with shade balls (and you've gotta do it every 10 years)
 
You're gonne need a lot of balls for the Vaal Dam...

Those are there to prevent chemical degradation of one of them chems in the water not to prevent evaporation
