The storage of water in the Maqalika reservoir is gradually decreasing as sediment, carried by the natural catchment run-off, accumulates in the reservoir. Moreover, water pumped into the reservoir from the Caledon River (which is heavily sedimented) has its own contribution of silt. This paper attempts to find the volume occupied by accumulated sedimentation in the reservoir
