Thirty-five percent of the total storage is eutrophic to hypertrophic – including grossly enriched reservoirs that far exceed the globally-accepted definition of hypertrophy. Failing infrastructure contributes to the problem of polluted urban runoff which comprises a significant fraction of flows to inland reservoirs, particularly in the landlocked, economic heartland of the country. In the period post-2000, a number of developments have underpinned the provision of a research and management infrastructure that ensures that South African water resource management structures are capable of dealing with cyanobacterial problems.
