The Cape Town City Bowl is fed by a number of perennial springs that rise on the slopes of Table Mountain, thus given the name ‘Camissa’ the Place of Sweet Waters by the Khoi who inhabited the area before European settlement in 1652. Much of this water is piped to Table Bay where it is discharged, unused. Despite its Mediterranean climate of dry summers, there is not much fluctuation in flow rate from these springs. Condensation from the cloud cover on the mountain crest, caused by the prevailing S–E wind during the season is thought to be a significant agent for recharging the Table Mountain aquifers.
