About Steenbras Dam
The Steenbras Dam, now referred to as Steenbras Lower Dam, is a gravity concrete arch type dam located in the Hottentots-Holland mountains, above Gordons Bay, near Cape Town in South Africa. In 1916 a Board of Engineers was appointed to report on a water augmentation scheme for the city.
