Ecology and water quality

Perspective
In a report from June 2021, SANBI found the Kromelmboogspruit to be in a "moderately modified ecological condition", and thus of high "ecological importance and sensitivity".[5] The Ecosystem Protection Level and Ecosystem Threat Status is considered critical and poorly protected. In 2019 a surface water assessment was completed for Sasol, where Kromelmboogspruit was found to be within the limits set by the Water Use Licence, a mandatory license if a higher usage of water is required.[6]
