Water and ground in Kariega
Long before the dams, Kariega drew water from springs, and groundwater is still part of the story in the dry country around the town. During the Nelson Mandela Bay drought many homes in Kariega and Despatch drilled boreholes, and smallholdings around Kruisrivier and along the Groendal road pump for gardens, livestock and vegetables. The motor industry is the town's big employer, and the plant and its suppliers run process water, cooling, fire and sump pumps. The Swartkops River can flood after heavy rain, and low parts of Despatch and the town have taken water in the past. Hot, dry summers mean pools and garden irrigation pull on pumps, and hard water can scale up fittings and pressure switches.
The requests we see from Kariega usually come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: water for remote depots, yards and dust suppression without a grid connection
- Smallholdings and plots: a solar kit keeping the house tank and animal troughs full through load-shedding
