Description
"Der Hartebeestpoortdamm" ("Hartbeespoort Dam"). View of a reservoir and mountain sides.
Description on the back reading: "In den Magalisbergen wurde der Krokodilfluß abgesperrt. Dadurch wurde das Wasser zu einem etwa 10 km langen See aufgestaut. Es dient zur Bewässerung in der regenlosen Jahreszeit. Die Kanalisation ist rund 70 km weit ausgebaut. Sie kommt in erster Linie den „armen Weißen“, die in diesem Gebiet angesiedelt wurden zu Gute, aber auch die Eingeborenen haben Anteile daran. Die Kanalisation soll bis zu der Station Bethanie geführt werden." ("In the Magaliesberg the Crocodile River was blocked. Thus the water was dammed up to a ca. 10 km long lake. It serves for irrigation in the rainless season. The sewerage is developed as far as about 70 km. It benefits mainly the 'poor whites', who where settled there, but also the indigenes have their share. The sewerage shall be led to the Bethanie station.")
