More often these days we hear concerns from water users regarding “how much water is the newly drilled borehole of a neighbor extracting from “their” river water”.

On the other hand, from a groundwater perspective, this is very one sided.
The Rietvlei Wetland, located in the Western Cape of South Africa is well recognised for harbouring numerous bird species, and is ranked the 6th most important coastal wetland in the South-western Cape.
