A further 26% rely on surface water and the remaining 2% rely on both surface and groundwater.

 Inherently low level of rainfall, its variability and inconsistency have become more frequent in the last three decades and it has, in most instances, led to recurring bouts of droughts in certain parts of the province.

This is especially case in the western, northern, and central parts of the province.
 Rapid emergency response by the tankering of water to ensure immediate relief of need; 884 water tanks have been provided to municipalities throughout the province during emergency drought and COVID-19 response since March 2020.

 Source development of more than 77 municipal boreholes in 23 communities impacting 10 161 households and 38 085 people.
24 OVERVIEW OF DROUGHT IN THE PROVINCE Department: Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements & Traditional Affairs Northern Cape  Communities include Garies, Soebatsfontein, Spoegrivier, Kamieskroon, Paulshoek, Leliefontein, Klipfontein, Kheis, Tweerivier and Kharkams in Kamiesberg LM; Vanwyksvlei in Kareeberg LM; Port Nolloth in Richtersveld LM; Calvinia, Nieuwoudtville and Middelpos in Hantam LM; Strydenburg and Kraankuil in Thembelihle LM; and, Ntswelengwe, Magagwe, Cassel, Ga-Sehunelo Wyk4, Mammebe and Manyeding in Joe Morolong LM.
 Domestic and Stock Watering: 734 applications received.

One- hundred and eighty-two 182 farms have been surveyed and 131 of farms have been drilled on.

One-hundred and eighteen boreholes (118) yield and quality tested.

Overall site progress is at 90%.

 This improvement can be attributed late winter rains as well as early summer rains over most of the Northern Cape.

In these areas, vegetation condition improved significantly.

 The south western part of the Province, which were up to recently in the grip of a severe drought experienced a bloom of vegetation growth and especially grasses.

This includes the Upper Karoo, Bushmanland and Namaqualand.

 However, a large component of woody dwarf shrubs appears to have died during the drought.
 The only part of the Province where significant drought conditions prevail is in the northern part of Namakwa district and in particular the Richtersveldt 34 VEGETATION CONDITION IN THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE Department: Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements & Traditional Affairs Northern Cape  With small portions of Pixle ka Seme and ZF Mgcawu still experience drought conditions, but for most of the Province the vegetation has recovered sufficiently to break the disastrous effects of the drought and ground water has been replenished.
 From the next Figure, it is clear that large parts of the Province the vegetation conditions have improved.

35 VEGETATION CONDITION INDEX FOR JANUARY 2022 Department: Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements & Traditional Affairs Northern Cape 36 MITIGATION MEASURES FOR DROUGHT RELIEF Department: Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements & Traditional Affairs Northern Cape  380 tonnes of fodder from the Fodder Bank were transported to drought areas as from( April – 30 August 2021).
 Agri Northern Cape Union assisted with transport to deliver fodder across the province.
