The document describes the selection of four new groundwater monitoring areas—Brackenfell, Constantia/Bergvliet, Noordhoek, and Scarborough/Kommetjie—to support the City of Cape Town's water diversification efforts. Selection was based on borehole density, drilling activity during the 'Day Zero' period, equipment accessibility, and potential points of concern. These sites supplement existing monitoring in Newlands and Epping Industria to manage risks associated with unregulated groundwater abstraction under a changing climate.

• The City of Cape Town is diversifying its bulk water supply by targeting three underground reserves: the Cape Flats, Atlantis, and Table Mountain Group aquifers.
• Unmonitored and unregulated groundwater abstraction is identified as a risk to water supply, particularly given the context of an uncertain and changing climate.
• Four new monitoring areas were selected based on borehole density, known drilling during the Day Zero period, equipment accessibility and safety, and potential points for concern: Brackenfell, Constantia/Bergvliet, Noordhoek, and Scarborough/Kommetjie.
