Description

The Berg River Dam (originally called the Skuifraam Dam) is located in the mountains near Franschhoek and is the newest supply dam. It was completed in 2009, or 112 years after Cape Town’s first supply dam was constructed on Table Mountain in 1897. In future, the City will need to find other means of meeting its increasing water requirements. As there is no more suitable land on which to build dams in the Cape Town area, no further dams will be built.
