From: High-resolution surface water dynamics in Earth’s small and medium-sized reservoirs
Water dynamics in South African reservoirs. Left: Standardized Area Index (SAI) for Theewaterskloof dam, the six largest dams (> 1 km2) in our database around Cape Town (dark blue bounding box, right side), and a larger bounding box (light blue box, right side). Right: Map in Red all reservoirs in our database > 1 km2 in South Africa. All of these are included in the SAI of “Entire South Africa” in the left graph. The period 2000 until 2020 is used as reference climatology. The figure is generated using Matplotlib34 and Cartopy35 python libraries.
