The total actual supply is 0,301MI/d compared to the calculated demand of 0,340Ml/d. There is a
variance of 0,039MI/d. The implication is that there is an under supply of about 11.5%. In real terms,
it implies that there are households in the areas which do not have access to RDP standard water.
Water supply from the Namakgale/Lulekani Water Scheme is presented in the following table:
