Where does Johannesburg get its water from?

The water supply for Johannesburg comes from the Vaal River, which is dammed at several locations along its course to create reservoirs including:

- Vaal Dam

- Bloemhof Dam

- Sterkfontein Dam

- Grootdraai Dam

- Klipvoor Dam

- Rietvlei Dam

- Zaaihoek Dam

- Bronkhorstspruit Dam

These dams store water for Johannesburg and the surrounding areas, which is then pumped, filtered, and treated before being distributed to consumers. Additionally, Johannesburg also has a number of groundwater sources, including boreholes and aquifers, which contribute to its water supply.
