The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of Eskom Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme was the responsibility of Eskom and the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) participated therein. The Department is not aware of any significant impacts on Wilge and Vaal Rivers.
The resettlement of communities was also part of the same process and thus no undue impacts are anticipated.
The Department issued Water Use Licenses for the project and will continue to monitor compliance to the license conditions.
