This report is a synthesis of all available information on five of the smaller rivers discharging in to False bay combined as a single volume. The rivers dealt with are the Buffels (Wes), Elsies, Sir Lowry' Pass, Steenbras and Buffels (Oos). False Bay is a large square-shaped bay with an area of more than 1 000 km and a wide mouth which permits free exchange with the open ocean. The bay can therefore not be considered as an isolated entity but it is rather a part of the wider coastal region within which it occurs
