  • Hartbeespoort Dam (also known as Harties) is an arch type dam situated in the North West Province of South Africa. It lies in a valley to the south of the Magaliesberg mountain range and north of the Witwatersberg mountain range, about 35 kilometres north west of Johannesburg and 20 kilometres west of Pretoria. The name of the dam means "dam at the gorge of the hartebeest" (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans. This "poort" in the Magaliesberg was a popular spot for hunters, where they cornered and shot the hartebeest. The dam was originally designed for irrigation, which is currently its primary use, as well as for domestic and industrial use. The dam has suffered from a hypertrophic state since the early 1970s. Mismanagement of waste water treatment from urban zones within the Hartbeespoort Dam catchment area is largely to blame, having distorted the food web with over 280 tons of phosphate and nitrate deposits. The town of Hartbeespoort is situated close to the dam wall and the villages of Kosmos, Melodie, Ifafi, Meerhof and The Coves, Pecanwood, Westlake and several other estates can be found alongside its shores. The town of Schoemansville was named after General Hendrik Schoeman, owner of the land during the 19th century. (en)
  • Le barrage d'Hartbeespoort, dont le nom officiel est Hartbeespoort Dam (parfois appelé localement Harties), est un grand barrage sud-africain situé à environ 35 kilomètres à l'ouest de Pretoria (province du Nord-Ouest). C'est aussi le nom donné à sa vaste retenue d'eau. Construit à partir de 1921 et mis en service en 1923, le barrage est géré par le Département des Eaux et Forêts (Department of Water Affairs and Forestry). Il déverse les eaux de son trop-plein dans la et est principalement alimenté par le bassin versant de ce fleuve. Sa longueur est de 101 m et sa hauteur de 59 m, pour une largeur de 22 m. La capacité du réservoir est de 195 000 000 m3. La retenue couvre 4 112 km2 (2 062 hectares). L'eau y fluctue saisonnièrement sur une hauteur qui peut atteindre 8 mètres. Le nom du barrage signifie « Porte des hartbees » (hartbees ou hartebees étant le nom en afrikaans d'une espèce d'antilope sud-africaine). (fr)
