Two more sluice gates have been closed at the Vaal dam to reduce outflows as water inflows into the dam decrease.

The Department of Water and Sanitation said on Monday that six sluice gates now remained open.

By Monday morning, the Vaal dam water levels had decreased from 104.51% to 103.42% with an inflow of 571.7 m³/s and an outflow of 1 269 m³/s.

At Bloemhof dam, where the water levels increased from 99.44% to 102.27% owing to the inflows from upstream, the outflows are being maintained at 1 400 m³/s.
