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] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.unep.org/dams/documents/ell.asp?story_id=121 |title=Details of submission: Independent Monitoring of Maguga Dam Resettlement |publisher=United Nations Environment Programme}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ewisa.co.za/misc/DamMPU_Swaziland_Maguga/MagugaDam.htm |title=Maguga Dam: Mpumalanga_Swaziland (sic) |publisher=eWISA, an arm of the Water Institute of Southern Africa}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.kobwa.co.za/index.php/about-us/profile |title=Profile: The Komati Basin Water Authority (KOBWA) |publisher=Komati Basin Water Authority}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://reliefweb.int/report/swaziland/swaziland-new-dams-be-built-boost-irrigation |title=Swaziland: New dams to be built to boost irrigation |date=30 November 2005 |publisher=ReliefWeb}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/countries_regions/swz/index.stm |title=Swaziland: Water Report 29: 2005 |date=2005 |publisher=Food and Agriculture Organization}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://bankwatch.org/documents/raising_the_bar.pdf |title=Raising the Bar on Big Dams |date=November 2007 |publisher=CEE Bankwatch}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.sec.co.sz/electricity/ |title=How We Generate Electricity |publisher=Swaziland Electricity Company}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.pressreader.com/swaziland/observer-on-saturday/20151107/281702613595032 |title=Drying Up Maguga Dam a Nightmare to Residents |author=Bodwa Mbingo |publisher=PressReader}} 9. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.aurecongroup.com/en/projects/water/maguga-dam-on-the-komati-river.aspx |title=Maguga Dam on the Komati River, Swaziland |publisher=Aurecon}} 10. ^{{cite news |title=Severe drought looms in Swaziland |newspaper=Mail & Guardian |agency=IRIN |date=17 September 2007 |url=http://mg.co.za/article/2007-09-17-severe-drought-looms-in-swaziland}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/en/system/files/documents/files/swaziland_rapid_assessment_summary_report_2016.pdf |title= Swaziland Drought Assessment Report: Rapid Assessment 2015/15 Season |date=March 2016 |publisher=Deputy Prime Minister's Office}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.cesa.co.za/insidetrack/october2007/default.htm |title=Consulting Engineers - We Shape Your World |publisher=South African Association of Consulting Engineers |date=October 2007}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.concretesociety.co.za/record-of-the-fulton-award-winners |title=Record of the Fulton Award Winners |publisher=Concrete Society of Southern Africa}} External links
