The Maguga Dam is a dam on the Komati River in Eswatini.[1] It is {{convert|115|m}} high and is located about {{convert|12|km}} south of Piggs Peak.[2] It was built as a joint project of the governments of South Africa and Eswatini.[1][3] As of 2005, it was the largest public works project ever undertaken by Eswatini.[4] The dam was completed in mid-2001.[3][5]

In 1992, the two countries signed a treaty covering the "design, construction, operation and maintenance" of the Driekoppies and Maguga Dams.[3] As the former benefited South Africa exclusively (though the resulting reservoir lay partially in Eswatini), South Africa bore the entire cost for that dam.[3] As for the latter, Eswatini was responsible for about 40% of the cost.[3] The dam's primary purpose is irrigation (for water-intensive sugar cane, forestry and "about 1000 of Eswatini's small farmers"[6]) but a hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 20 MW (generated from two units, each with a capacity of 9.9 MW[7]) was to be completed in October 2006.[1]

Maguga is a "clay-core rockfill embankment dam".[14] The dam embankment comprises approximately {{convert|800000|m3}} of clay, {{convert|2800000|m3}} of granite rock and {{convert|43000|m3}} of filter material.[8] It has an overall height of {{convert|115|m}}, a crest length of {{convert|870|m}} and a base width of {{convert|400|m}}.[8] It has a capacity of {{convert|332000000|m3}} and a surface area of {{convert|10420000|m3}}.[5] It has been designed to withstand a probable maximum flood of {{convert|15000|m3/s}}.[9] There is a {{convert|181|m|adj=on}}-long labyrinth spillway.[9]

Droughts have caused major problems. In 2007, the dam's capacity was down to 37%.[10] In 2015, the water levels at the dam were at a record low,[8] and on 20 February 2016, the water storage level was measured at 31%.[11]

The project displaced about 1000 people.[6]

The Maguga Dam Joint Venture received a commendation from the South African Association of Consulting Engineers in the category of Engineering Excellence with a value greater than R5 million for 2002.[12] The dam also won the Concrete Society of Southern Africa's 2003 Fulton Award for Civil Engineering Structures.[13]
