# The Department of Water and Sanitation has opened a third sluice gate at the Vaal Dam to increase water outflows and manage inflows. The dam’s current water level is at 107.3-percent. The department’s spokesperson, Wisane Mavasa, says the increased outflows from the dam are expected to reach the Bloemhof Dam in three to four days and will result in water levels rising, which will be managed by gradually increasing outflows from the dam:
