| Sandriver in Flood / Sandrivier in vloed. |
Die Sandrivier het al vir menigte opwinding gesorg. Tydens die reëns gedurende Desember 2010, het die rivier gesorg vir 'n skouspelagtige prentjie. Baie van die inwoners wat al jare hier in Senekal woon het gemeen dat dit baie naby aan die 1988 vloed se merk was. Daar is sommige wat sal sê dit was meer want die rivier se walle is nou al breër. Maar hoe dit ook al mag wees, dit was 'n welkome gesig vir inwoners van hierdie omgewing.

And there it goes...Towards Aldam.
Daar gaan die water...Aldam raak vol. |
The Sandriver at Senekal has been a source for many interesting stories in this area. Also it have been cause of excitement many a times. During the rains that came down during December 2010, the river had risen to a maximum level, nearly touching the bridge that crosses overhead. Needless to say, local residents all used the opportunity to drive out to the river and view it at its best, while in flood. Some of the older residents say that the levels were very close to the 1988 flood-records but there are those who will say that due to the expanding width of the river-banks, the water were more. Nevertheless, an outing to the river at any given time is worth it.
