Are there any blockages? (Dams, hydroelectric plants)

In South Africa there are countless dams but not a lot of hydroelectric plants. On this link you will find all of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reservoirs_and_dams_in_South_Africa. There are only two hydroelectric plants I know of: the Gariep Dam and the Paul Sauer Dam.

What forms of industry are located on the rivers?

Plastic industries, vehicle, and rubber.

What springs/natural reservoirs are there in your country? (Lakes, aquifers, watershed)

There are many lakes in South Africa. Here is a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_in_South_Africa

As for springs there is one major one at and it is Hot Springs. This is the largest spring that has been discovered and is sadly used for tourism. South Africa has a lot of granite and quartzite underneath it. This provides a passage way for water to pass through and be stored in an aquifer. I couldn't find any names of aquifers but there is a major one in Cape Town called Cape flats. It is huge and shared all along Cape Town. As for the other provinces I'm not sure. 

Where does your country get their water supplies from? If it's from your country, do you ship/export water to different countries?

South Africa gets its water supplies from itself. It's one of the few countries where everyone has the right to a certain amount of free water. The water supplies are made in different companies such as Valpre and then is sent to Water Boards to be sanitized. Water from South Africa is sent to neighboring counties such as Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. 

How do you get water to your house?

Water in South Africa has different ways of getting to your household. The first one is like a well. Since there is a lot of granite and rock underneath the ground people tend to trap the water and make wells. The second one is through  pipe line. Pipe lines transport water from tanks that have been cleaned and purified until it is good for drinking. The third option is using water from reservoirs.  Many farmers have giant tanks in which they use their own water. It all depends on what kind of life style you have.
