These photographs compare Clanwilliam Dam at approximately 100% capacity and at around 7.5% capacity.

One of the first impressions of the dam when it is full.
Long walk from the river up to the public slipway.
The first view of the dam when approaching from the Cape Town side.
Shots from the campsite when what should have been the dam was
nothing more than the Olifants River.
The same view when the dam is full. Notice how little the tree on
the left has grown over the years.
