Overall Water Balance Crocodile - Conclusions Overall, it appears that a water balance can be achieved without a new dam, but Local deficits occur and water cannot always easily be transferred between WDCs Most significant interventions that will make the biggest difference in terms of reconciliation: −Water use conversions (existing applications to convert irrigation entitlements into licences for domestic use) −Removing invasive alien vegetation from the Kwena and Primkop Dams’ catchments −WC/WDM Strategy For Each Water Demand Centre

7.
