With the very good early season rains we have had over the last few days our dams on the Reserve have had a welcome boost to their water levels Hippo Dam, the largest on the Reserve is now an impressive body of water again Leadwood Dam, which earlier in the year had the wall raised, has come up a few feet. Hopefully it will fill to the new capacity this summer The small Coffer Dam put in as a temporary measure whilst Leadwood Dam wall was being raised is full Secret Dam, which was also enlarged, unfortunately has a leak that needs to be plugged. It has received some recent runoff water which hopefully will hold for a few weeks Lodge Pan. Note the inflow wash in the foreground and the green algae bloom already present on the water Luiperd Dam is about three quarters fill already and looking good Mamba Dam which was still about half full at the end of the dry season has already overflowing again with the early rain we have received. The spillway is top left in the image Blou Wildebees Dam which had the spillway raised over Winter is already at the old full level. It will be impressive when it fills to its new level, hopefully soon Pofaddr Dam which has also had its spillway raised is also filling well. Not quite at its old full level yet but well up on a few weeks earlier
