Almost in the centre of the valley, it is being dammed by the Binfield Park Dam at 32°41′13″S 26°54′16″E,[1] a major water storage reservoir for the rural settlements and farms in the area, as well as Middledrift town lower down, all in the Nkonkobe Local Municipality area. After the dam, the river flows down south, then east and south-east to later join the Keiskamma River on its way to the Indian Ocean near Hamburg.
