Vaal River

The Vaal River (pronounced /ˈfɑːl/ and alternatively /ˈvɑːl/, especially by English speakers) is the largest tributary of the Orange River in South Africa. The river has its source near Breyten in Mpumalanga province, east of Johannesburg and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Ermelo and only about 240 kilometres (150 mi) from the Indian Ocean. It then flows westwards to its conjunction with the Orange River southwest of Kimberley in the Northern Cape. It is 1,120 kilometres (700 mi) long, and forms the border between Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West Province on its north bank, and the Free State on its south.

Tributaries

Some of its tributaries include the Harts River, Vals River, Waterval River, Bamboes Spruit, Blesbokspruit, Mooi River, Vet River, Renoster River, Riet River, Klip River and Wilge River.

Importance to industry and agriculture

Water is drawn from the Vaal to meet the industrial needs of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area and a large part of the Free State. As a part of the Vaal-Hartz Scheme it is a major source of water for irrigation. Water drawn from the Vaal supports 12 million consumers in Gauteng and surrounding areas.

    LUCK

    by: Fuel

    It's cold outside in the middle of the winter and my brain's in the fridge
    (Would you know what shape I'm in)
    Point things in the better I'm lucky if I even give in to the sin
    (Would you know what shape I'm in)
    And it's all been luck until now
    Caught in the race of up to down
    Photography mixed in the monogamy keepin' my world happenin'
    (would you know what shape I'm in)
    I know that I'm better when I know that you are better and I'll hold you again
    (would you know what shape I'm in)
    And its all been luck until now
    Caught in the race of up to down
    And it's all been luck until now
    I only hope that you're still 'round me now
    And it's gonna rage
    it's gonna stay with you always
    Every second counts on you to prove you're off the ground
    It's cold outside in the middle of the winter and my brains in the fridge
    Point things in the better I'm lucky if I even give in to the sin
    And its all been luck until now
    And its all been luck until now
    And its all been luck until now
    Caught in the race of up to down now
    And its all been luck until now
    Caught in the race of up to down
    And it's all been luck until now
    I only hope that you're still 'round me
