Sundays River 3863419 177964010 2007-12-14T22:01:29Z Broadbot 3410049 robot Adding: [[da:Sundays (flod)]] The '''Sundays River''' is a [[river]] in the [[Eastern Cape Province]] of [[South Africa]] and is said to be the fastest flowing river in South Africa. The [[Khoisan]] people originally named this river ''Nukakamma'' (Grassy Water) because the river's banks are always green and grassy despite the arid terrain that it runs through. ==Location== The source of the 250 [[Kilometre|km]] (156 [[mi]]) long Sundays River is in the [[Compassberg Mountains]] (the highest mountains in the former [[Cape Province]]) near [[Nieu-Bethesda]]. The river then flows in a general southsoutheasterly direction, passing the town [[Graaff-Reinet]] in the [[Karoo]] before winding its way through the [[Zuurberg Mountains]] and then past [[Kirkwood, Eastern Cape|Kirkwood]] and [[Addo]] in the fertile [[Sundays River Valley]]. It empties into the [[Indian Ocean]] at [[Algoa Bay]] near the city of [[Port Elizabeth]]. ==Fish-Sundays River Canal Scheme== The [[Fish River, Eastern Cape|Fish River]]-Sundays River Canal Scheme consists of a [[canal]] and [[tunnel]] system which supplies water from the [[Orange River]] to the [[Great Fish River Valley]] and subsequently to the Sundays River Valley in order to supplement the existing water supply of the Eastern Cape. Since [[1992]] the water from the Sundays River Valley has been supplied to Port Elizabeth.
