<p>Good Morning,</p>
<p>I am busy compiling a database for the Western Cape Government
Water Continuity project (groundwater supply mainly to hospitals
etc.), which involves the capture of new borehole data, combined
with existing data from the National Groundwater Archive and
meteorological data, e.g. rainfall etc.</p>
<p>I have downloaded the .kmz file from the SAWS, which lists the 33
stations below and on which they are reporting regularly. Does
anybody have the rainfall records for these stations, preferably
as far back as possible.</p>
<p>I believe the SAWS charges about R8000 per station for a period
of 15 years or so, but for a crisis project like this one it
should actually be free to obtain, especially as it is for a
Government Project! Any other ideas where to get the rainfall
data?<br>
