Goedertrouw Dam (known as Lake Phobane) | 304 | This dam was completed in the late 1970’s to meet the expanding industrial and mining requirements of the Richards Bay area, but provision was also made for large-scale irrigation. Water released from the dam is abstracted by irrigators, either by canal or by direct pumped abstraction from the river. (Ref 1) | ||||||||||||||||||||
