Roodeplaat Dam, Arch dam in City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, South Africa
Roodeplaat Dam extends across the Pienaars River with a height of 59 meters and a reservoir capacity of 43 million cubic meters.
The construction of this water infrastructure project began in 1955 and reached completion in 1959, marking a significant development in South Africa's water management.
The dam area hosts numerous community events focused on water conservation education while supporting local agricultural practices and outdoor recreational pursuits.
Visitors can engage in fishing, boating, and wildlife observation at the dam, which also functions as a primary water source for northern Pretoria.
The Department of Water Affairs maintains a Resource Quality Information Services facility near the dam wall for monitoring national surface water resources.
