According to Hohls et al. (1999) the trace metals in the Roodeplaat Dam do not pose any problems, although manganese concentrations in the water abstracted from 20 m depth at the dam wall have previously been found to potentially have aesthetic effects on the end users. These constituents will not be discussed any further.
