The Mokolo River in Limpopo
The Mokolo River just outside Lephalale in Limpopo is the main local water source, but is under threat from illegal sand mining in the area. The nearby Waterberg Biosphere Reserve is one of 500 recognised UNESCO sites globally. The Waterberg area is incredibly
water-scarce, but major new coal mines and power stations are planned for the area.
