Proposed Ngwadini Weir, Abstraction Works and Pipeline in KZN

The current water resources supplying the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal are insufficient to meet the projected water demands. The Lower uMkhomazi Bulk Water Supply System (LUBWSS) is the recommended augmentation option for the existing Upper and Middle South Coast Supply area. Therefore, Umgeni Water proposed to construct the LUBWSS in order to increase the assurance of water supply. The Ngwadini weir, abstraction works and pipeline forms part of the LUBWSS and will be constructed to fill the Ngwadini Off-channel Storage Dam during summer periods of excess flow.
