Due to the distance involved from the Gariep Dam to Darlington Dam the Department developed a computer model, which also takes into consideration the quality of the water that is required in Darlington Dam and arranges the releases from Oviston accordingly..
The original purpose of the dam was to act as a balancing dam for the irrigation canals. During construction a secondary purpose, the augmenting of the water supply for Port Elizabeth was identified.
VISION
The vision of the Lower Sundays River Water User Association is to be a fully representative body and roll model to fulfil the control function to continually adapt the functional infrastructure to create specialist water supply so that satisfactory service is provided to clients.
Good management by satisfied staff will result in productivity, physical stability and guarantee effective operations.
