The Berg River, which flows between Franschhoek and Velddrif, is an important freshwater resource to the Western Cape. In the 1980s, the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) measured an increase in salt concentrations, particularly in the mid- to lower reaches of the river, thereby impacting on drinking water quality and agriculture.enDryland salinitySemi-aridSwartland regionOverberg regionWestern CapeWaterEcologyWater resourcesFreshwater resourceArticleBugan, R.
