The department released figures showing a 0.4% weekly decrease in water levels in dams across all nine provinces.
"We rely greatly on rain and we have not had much over two seasons and this is a cause for concern," said spokesman Sputnik Ratau.
Of the 211 dams monitored 12 are below 10%, 64 are below 40%, and only 18 are at 100%.
"When dam levels are anything below 25% it is a problem. The Umgeni system serving eThekwini and Mzinduzi saw a decrease of 1.5%."
Dams at Klipfontein (17.4%), Goedertrouw (20%) and Hluhluwe (13.4%) are still falling. - Shenaaz Jamal
