I think the North is much worse, nana...

As BC says, the two big southern rivers are fine around Skuks, and Croc river won't stop, hopefully. There are a couple of full dams in that one! \O

Eish :shock: We worked on about 8 days until it would be dry

Nsemani Dam is at a level I haven't seen in years and will also be dry before October if there's no rain O-/

How's the borehole disservice program doing,..

Better Sanparks hurry before the dry season ends!!
That to say, we may see some recovery of the vegetation,..
end of the coming season!!!!

Gee something just struck me,.. plants and vegetation are
equally reliant on water!!!!! Animals eat plants around water
holes, plants eat water around these holes,.......................

by religiously applying theoretical law in a natural free environment,
leaves a lot of room for thought!!!

Best Sanparks hurry with their dynamiting program of the waterholes
in order to prove a point. This before the dry season ends!!!

Oh,....


Heh,.. H.e
