Welcome to the Water Resources of South Africa, 2012 Study (WR2012)

This website describes the water resources of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. It is the culmination of a number of water resource appraisals that have been carried out over the past four decades.

Its predecessor was called WR2005 and the intention of this website is to provide all the data, information, GIS maps, water resource models, spreadsheets and tools to allow water resource practitioners to investigate, analyse and plan their water resources studies.

This is all available by means of a menu system as in the previous WR2005 DVD. The menus system consists of the following : GIS maps, WRSM2000 (Pitman) rainfall-runoff model, WR2005 database, Reports, Quaternary data spreadsheets, Patched observed streamflow data, Catchment rainfall groups, Catchment based rainfall, Point rainfall, Naturalised streamflow, Water quality, Monitioring, Land/water use, Present day streamflow and Reservoir records.

To access the date online we require a short registration
