ProposalDescription: 

The proposed establishment of a 67 900 m³ dam and cultivation of approximately 45 ha of land to macadamia nut trees, located on Portion 98 and Portion 116 of Drie Fonteinen No. 1127, Hopewell Farm, within the KwaDukuza Local KwaZulu-Natal

Expanded_Motivation: 

The dam is proposed to be established at GPS coordinates 29°27'49.48" S and 31°07'49.87" E on a tributary of the Mhlali River, and comprise the following specifications:  Storage capacity – 67 900 m³;  Surface area – 2.3 ha;  Wall height – 9.5 m; and  Wall length – 105 m. The proposed project will also comprise the cultivation of approximately 45 ha of land to macadamia nut trees. Majority of this land currently comprises sugar cane, however; several macadamia nut trees are proposed to be planted within 32 m of a watercourse. Water from the dam will be pumped via pipelines to the lands. The proposed dam will thus serve as a storage mechanism to be used for supplementary irrigation to support the critical flowering phase of the macadamia nut tree growth cycle.
