Hartebeespoort Dam - Video 1
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this drone video of one of South Africa's most famous dams, compliments of Dirk Grobler. Hartbeespoort Dam is located in the North West Province, about a half hour drive northwest of Johannesburg. The arch dam was completed in 1923 and primarily is used to manage irrigation water in this drought-prone area. It supplies water through a long series of canals which were constructed for the purpose. It's a popular getaway spot for residents of Johannesburg as well as nearby Pretoria.

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.
