The Vanderkloof Dam lies in the Orange River roughly 180 km south of Bloemfontein. The dam was completed in 1977 and named the P.K. le Roux Dam, after a former Minister of Water Affairs. The name was later changed to Vanderkloof. The Vanderkloof Dam, fed by the Orange River, is about 130 km down-stream from the Gariep Dam.
