"Upper Crocodile sub-management area corresponds to the catchment of the Crocodile River upstream of the confluence of the Elands River which includes the major tributaries of the Sterkstroom, Magalies, Bloubankspruit, Jukskei and Hennops rivers. The Crocodile River has its source in the Witwatersrand mountain range at a height of 1 700 m.a.s.l. The northern suburbs of Johannesburg, as well as parts of adjacent cities such as Kempton Park and Krugersdorp are situated in this sub-catchment. There are two large dams in this sub-catchment, namely Hartbeespoort and Roodekopjes. The upper reaches of the catchment are densely settled.
