Vaal-Harts Dam
Located just east of Warrenton, on the Vaal River, the dam was built as part of the Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme. Conceived by Cecil John Rhodes, the idea was to direct water from the Vaal and Harts rivers to a series of canals and provide life to the dry landscape. Today, the system irrigates 1280 farmers and the scheme is known as the second largest irrigation scheme in the southern Hemisphere.
