Follow up visit to the Vaal Dam after a few months of good rain and some water being fed from the Sterkfontein dam. Current water level at 63.5% is a major improvement since the previous video on 30 Oct 2016 when the water level was at a mere 26%. Still needs 36% of water to get the dam properly full. Enjoy!!

With our recent visit to the Mpumalanga Lowveld earlier this month we visited these beautiful Lisbon Falls near Graskop in Mpumalanga South Africa. Recent rains in the area made for a good volume of water at the falls and of course for some awesome footage.

Visit to Harties to see what the dam and water levels are like after the recent rains in Gauteng. We hoped for sluices to still be open but seems all the water was already released from the dam. Still awesome footage to watch.

Parys by Drone
Просмотров 42 тыс.8 лет назад
After the recent rains I just had to visit Parys in the Free State, South Africa, to see how the water level has risen and what the many rapids on the Vaal river looked like. Only one sluice gate was open at the upstream Barrage which made for average water flow downstream. Water was very dirty as could be expected after the rain. Two fails on this trip. I forgot to press "record" when flying t...
The Barrage and Loch Vaal 2

Second visit to the Barrage since previous video on 24/10/2016. We had good rain since and I went back to check what water levels were like. Unfortunately I missed the moment on Saturday when they opened 5 or 6 sluice gates after the rains last week. One sluice open today releasing a fair amount of water in anticipation of more rain.

Follow up visit to the Vaal Dam after our initial visit and video 11 September 2016. Current water level at 26.6%. Dropped by about a meter in 7 weeks. Loosing around 1% of water per week from 33% in Sept to 27% seven weeks later. We are very thankful for the 70-80mm of rain that fell since. We need a lot more to fill up the Vaal Dam.

Die dam se naam is HF VERWOERDDAM
We truly do live in a magnificently beautiful country.🎉🎉🎉 Am living in Ficksburg now at the Lesotho border town of Maputsoe. My dad was born in Bethulie not far from this dam as a young boy he took me here and I was in awe. Thanks for the lovely footage. Stay blessed.
Awesome shot
Yust Google Silverton bank blast and rivonia bank blast, and see why criminal Mandela was jailed for. Stop making heroes of murderers cowardly criminals. What a despise
Thank you! Interresting!
But you are showing us the river more than the city
The Lord Jesus has been merciful in sending rain in good time these few days in Gauteng🙌🙏
are you a radio presenter by profession. your voice sounds otherwise.
Negative @ClementJosephNtanela, just your regular passionate RUclipsr. Thank you for the compliment though.
I watched your video then I went there 30 December 3023 It’s really beautiful place...
Nice video, thanks. However, sadly missing is the inlet to the Orange-Vis tunnel at Oviston, which is one of the interesting features of the Gariep Dam. I know it was mentioned some years ago by Johannes Weitz, but I wanted to bring it up again because Oviston is situated on the farm Zeekoegat which is adjacent to my great-grandfather's farm, Beschuitfontein.
Just some 40 years ago, myself and my portuguese frineds decided to sit in the second level waterfall ponds, try to sober up. Ofcourse, having had endulges somewhat, I see myself sitting stupidly on the very high edge, being dared to jump - wouldve killed myself ofcourse.
Dit was pragtag, thank you Meneer
Hi, could you please advise what month you visited this place?

Thank you for this beautiful video! 👍😃
Dankie Dirk dit was baie spesiaal. Dankie dat jy die Here die eer gee. God is goed.
Hi Dirk...very nice video. I would like to buy a drone this year, but people say it's a waste of many, because South African drone laws are very strict. You don't seems to have any problems...what are your thoughts on this?
I am glad you enjoyed the video Nick, thank you. These videos were all made as a novice before I was formally employed in the commercial sector. The South African laws are very strict with good reason and in the interest of safety. It was only afterwards I realised how many of them I was breaking, and the risks I did not even realise at the time. Buying a drone is always a good idea and great fun if you are passionate about photo- or videography. You just have to be realistic about where you are allowed to fly and the risk involved. Getting your RPL is indeed a waste of money if you do not intend to become a commercial drone pilot. A RPL is only valid if flown under a registered ROC (RPAS Operating Certificate) holder aka registered commercial drone operating company. You can read more on the SACAA (South African Aviation Authority) website at this link. www.caa.co.za/Pages/RPAS/Remotely%20Piloted%20Aircraft%20Systems.aspx
@@DirkGroblerDrone Thanks Dirk...much appreciated
Amazing what projects the previous goverment has done.What projects can the current goverment show thats a success and benefit to all?
What a masterpiece. Well done to the engineers and everyone else who took part in building this masterpiece of civil engineering
i see the pictures were done 4 years ago.
Is it possible to introduce salmon into the dam.
Wonderful
Is it possible to dredge the dam to hold more rain water.
Jy se ni sulke goed soos cut your throuth
Wonderful
Mnr dirk
Hi Collins. Glad to see you found the good stuff.
Alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar información del tipo de cemento y el proceso de la obra ?
What an ammateurish attempt. Get organised before you fly. This video is not about Parys. It is about the Vaal river at Parys.
been exactly there 2014 just no drone back then 😅 thanks for bringing up good memories
I went there
This DAM was our favorite spot to visit, or at least drive through on the way to visit our friends in Rustenberg. We left this beautifull country in year 2000, when it became obvious, that the new "damagement" is unable to govern by positive apartheid the country. Thank you South Africa for 25 years of nice life we spent there, God bless you and ALL your peoples. Best regards from Czech republic, formerly Czechoslovakia.
I was there believe me this place is beautiful i real enjoyed
Ons bly lekker langs die vaalrevier dankie dis pragtig
Wanneer sal die hiasinte eendag verdwyn?
