# The Western Cape’s largest reservoir, the Theewaterskloof Dam, is holding steady at 58.79-percent despite recent rainfall. The recent rains have managed to stabilise river catchments but did not significantly raise the province’s dam levels. The province’s water supply system, serving over three-million residents, is at 58.44-percent, slightly down from last week. Provincial Water and Sanitation Department head Ntombizanele Bila-Mupariwa has warned that climate variability and erratic rains, influenced by the El Niño and the La Niña weather systems, threaten long-term water security.
