Proposed Crocodile (East) Water Project (CEWP) - Mountainview Dam

Notification and BID: for the proposed Crocodile (East) Water Project (CEWP) - Mountainview Dam.
The Crocodile (East) River Catchment in Mpumalanga is located in the north-east of the country and forms part of the larger Inkomati River Basin. The only major dam in the catchment is the Kwena Dam in the Upper Crocodile River Catchment. The dam is approximately 60 km west of Mbombela on the main stem of the Crocodile East River or in the upper reaches of the Crocodile East Catchment. The dam is far from the water demand centres and therefore makes it difficult to regulate and manage water distribution to supply demands as required by the users. Four proposed dams within the Crocodile (East) River Catchment were investigated as part of the Phase 1: Pre-Feasibility Study for DWS. Based on the outcomes of this study, Mountain View Dam was selected for further investigation during the Phase 2: Feasibility Study. The proposed Mountain View dam site is situated on the Kaap River approximately 4 km west of Louw’s Creek and 10 km south-west of Kaapmuiden, within the City of Mbombela Local Municipality and Ehlanzeni District Municipality.
The CEWP falls under Strategic Integrated Project No.19 (SIP 19): Water and Sanitation Infrastructure of the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission. The Project is thus to be managed within the requirements of the Infrastructure Development Act (Act No. 23 of 2014).
