In this report available historical information on Wildevoelvlei or Noordhoek estuary and abiotic and biotic characteristics found in the estuary are presented. It also describes a system in which there is no major river feeding an estuary. Furthermore because of the inter-relationship between a high water table and the vleis and pans in the Noordehoek and Kommetjie basin, the two Wildevoelvlei cannot be considered in isolation from the other water bodies in the basin. Although, there does not appear to be much historical information available on the Wildevoelvleis or the wetlands.
