I couldn't resist the opportunity to use this meme image to announce that yes, I'm officially on the spectrum. Level 1 autism - what would previously have been called Asperger's Syndrome.

Some preliminary mapping now that Census 2022 data has started trickling out.

I don't know what's happening in Richtersveld where population supposedly doubled in 10 years. (6.8% per year = double in 10.5 years.) Maybe a data validity issue because of Census undercount.

Theewaterskloof Dam is at 115.6% of capacity. In the data available from the City (which goes back to 2012) the highest level ever reached was 109.7% in August 2013.

And there it is! All six dams full to the brim.

Voëlvlei Dam should be 100% full within a day or two.
