Figure 52. A man-made dam in the Koa River drainage line, with Hoedkopberg in the

In the northeast corner of the study site, the former marsh, now converted to a dam by
the mines, provides permanent open water and relatively dense reeds and bushes,
some of which overflow onto study site. Bushes and temporary marginal vegetation also
form around the dry pans after high rainfall seasons.
