Introduction
Anchor Environmental Consultants CC and The Freshwater
Consulting Group have been commissioned by the Department of Water Affairs and
Forestry (DWAF) to conduct a Baseline Monitoring Programme for the Berg River.
The baseline monitoring programme is aimed at describing the natural and
present-day conditions in the river, including their variability, against which
changes observed in the Berg River System once Skuifraam Dam has been built can
be interpreted. A period of three years has been allocated for the task,
beginning October 2002.
