Cape Town - Millions of litres of priceless water started flowing towards Cape Town on Tuesday, thanks to farmers of the Groenland Water Association.

The farming community from the Elgin/Grabouw valley started negotiations with the City of Cape Town in 2017 to supply the drought-stricken metropole with water after experiencing good rains in the region.

The water will flow via several smaller dams and end up in the Steenbras Dam, from where it will be pumped to City residents.
