Flooded - no more flamingo nesting?

Aerial imagery captured in 2023 shows the flamingo nesting area flooded. The reservoir seems to have received a large amount of water in recent years. See aerial imagery here: https://aerial.openstreetmap.org.za/#zoom=15&lat=-28.67422&lon=24.75914 Note the railway south west is submerged and the eastern railway is under threat. -- 2001:8B0:DEEB:B127:3A:67F:6714:761E (talk) 08:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
