Rockview Dam | 20.8 | The reservoir has virtually no natural catchment area as it is situated on the watershed between the Palmiet and Steenbras rivers. Its basin is formed by a rockfill and an earthfill wall known respectively as the main and northern embankment. The waterways leadfrom the main embankment to the power station. From the northern embankment, a canal and a pipeline connect the Rockview reservoir to the upper reservoir of the Steenbras Scheme. Water transfer to augment water supplies takes place along this route. | ||||||||||||||||||||
