The Jukskei is mostly shallow and not deep enough for transportation. It is also heavily polluted by urban runoff. Lack of infrastructure maintenance has let raw waste flow into the river daily. Cholera-causing bacteria have occasionally been found in the river. The river receives a large inflow from the Northern Waste Water Treatment Plant in northern Johannesburg. The Jukskei River is one of the largest contributing factors of the eutrophication problems facing Hartbeespoort Dam further downstream. Tons of waste suchas plastic, metal and rubber flow down the river annually. The banks are prone to bursting, especially in summer when rainfalls are the heaviest for the year regionally. This spells disaster for the impoverished residents of the Alexandra Township who often build makeshift shacks along the river banks owing to overcrowding and the need for access to water for washing, drinking, and cooking.

AND TECHNIQUES NON CLARENS ig ¢: Coordinates: 28°31’S; 28°25'E Clarens is a town situated in Dihlabeng municipality of Thaba Mofutsanyana region of Free State in South Africa. Clarens is known for its spectacular sandstone mountains and wonderful climate; it is one of the most picturesque spots in South Africa and has recently been acclaimed as the best Trout Fishing waters in South Africa. The climate of Clarens is warm and temperate. Precipitation levels are significantly lower in winter compared to summer. The temperatures averages 13°C with an average annual rainfall of 854mm. Clarens is the outlet from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project that brings fresh water from Lesotho to feed into Vaal Dam. Water from the Vaal Dam is then abstracted, treated and pumped to the Rand Water supply area.
