Lesotho Highlands Water Project

The Liebenbergsvlei is a conduit for water delivered by the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. The water is discharged at the As River Outfall, situated 9 km north of Clarens, which was opened in 1998. The As delivers water to the Saulspoort Dam and the Liebenbergsvlei and Wilge Rivers downstream, where after the water enters the Vaal Dam. The Vaal Dam can also be augmented from the Tugela-Vaal Water Project, by releasing water from the Sterkfontein Dam via the Nuwejaarspruit and Wilge River.
