  5. Integrated Vaal River system Vaal system as part of Orange-Senqu

  6. Integrated Vaal River system Return flow To Crocodile Eskom 290 mil.m3/a Gauteng Trichardstfontein Sasol Synfuels 90 mil.m3/a Knoppiesfontein Komati & Usutu transfer schemes Rand Water 1450 mil.m3/a Return flow To Vaal ELM Vlakfontein Canal VRESAP pipeline Heyshope & Zaaihoek transfer schemes Vaal Barrage Vaal River Vaal River Vaal River Grootdraai Dam 350 mil.m3 Vaal Dam 2600 mil.m3 LHWP 780 mil.m3/a Katse Dam 1500 mil.m3 Tugela River Tugela transfer scheme Woodstock Dam Sterkfontein Dam 2600 mil.m3 Sasol Infrachem, Sasolburg 22 mil.m3/a Mohale Dam 850 mil.m3 Polihali Dam (430 mil.m3/a future)
