For many years, large areas in the Eastern Cape experienced severe water shortages because of little rainfall in the arid Karoo. The situation was aggravated by the reduction in capacity of many of the existing dams due to heavy silt deposits.
The Orange-Fish Tunnel, together with its network of canals, weirs and balancing dams, has enabled these areas to be restored and has made the irrigation of thousands of hectares of additional land possible. The main purpose of the tunnel is to divert water from the Gariep Dam to the Eastern Cape for irrigation, household and industrial use.
Produced by the National Film Board of the Republic of South Africa - 1972.
This film looks at how to build concrete lined tunnels using the Orange-Fish tunnel as an example.
The construction of the Orange-Fish Tunnel made possible the irrigation of thousands of hectares of additional land in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, diverting water from the Orange River to the Great Fish River.
With a length of 83 km, the 5,35m diameter tunnel was the longest continuous enclosed aqueduct in the southern hemisphere and the second-longest water supply tunnel in the world.
It was engineered in association with Messrs Keeve Steyn and Partners of Johannesburg for the Water Affairs Department of the South African Government.

In today's video, I find a hidden tunnel that is FILLED with DEADLY FISH! I go on the hunt in this new location in search for a highly venomous and poisonous fish called a toad fish to catch and keep as my new pet! In order to find one of these fish, we had to explore this scary tunnel that is filled with crazy fish! We placed 3 fish traps in the tunnel and netted around to see what we could catch! We ended up catching tons of prawns, gobys, snakeheads, gar, cichlids, plecos, AND MORE! We even found another tunnel which I crawled through to catch a rare ORANGE crawfish! However, after exploring the entire tunnel, we didn't catch ...

We brought back all the crazy fish we caught and put them into my backyard pond as my new pets! Should we go back to this spot for a part 2?
