ProposalDescription: 

The proposed development of the instream earth-filled dam will entail the following features: -In-channel dam to un-named stream -Area occupied by a dam is 1.6ha -Two Spillways (Spillway A= Levelled Spillway & B= Natural Spillway): oLevelled spillway A width of 35.8m and Freeboard of 1,4 m o Natural spillway B width of 89.6m -Distance overland flow is 80m -Core trench width of 14.1m - Core Trench Volume of 808. 69m3 -Base Water Side of 27.18m - Base Dry Side of 18.62m -Earth banks height of 8.56m -Bank Volume of 13 752.43m3 -Total pitching of 4 746,04m2 (Pitching of crest, Upstream Stone Pitching, Downstream Stone Pitching). The project entails construction of 200m(600mmø) abstraction pipeline (dam outlet pipeline) which will join the existing pipeline at (30°30'41.82"S, 29°25'15.14"E) coming from raw water reservoir to Kokstad Research Station WTW.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Currently, the water for KRS farm is abstracted from the nearby spring and stored in the reservoir within the farm. This water from spring is currently not sufficient for agricultural use and consumption, as sometimes the spring dries out during the dry periods, as a result the farm experience sufficient water yield only during wet seasons (summer months). Therefore, in response to the growing urgency to secure adequate and sustainable water supply for the KRS Farm, the KZN DARD proposes the construction of an instream earth filled dam. The proposed in stream earth filled dam will increase the capacity of water supply to KRS farm throughout the year, thus improve capability of research station to conduct its activities for future planned research programmes.
