The Blesbokspruit is a significant stream and wetland system located in the Gauteng Province of South Africa, specifically in the Ekurhuleni area near the towns of Springs, Boksburg, Benoni, and Brakpan. It flows at a high elevation of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level and covers an extensive area of about 1,858 hectares. The stream is a permanently inundated, reed-dominated wetland, characterized by dense stands of Typha and Phragmites. This permanent flooding is largely due to artificial inputs from sources like mines and sewage treatment works. The Blesbokspruit has two main branches upstream that flow through heavily urbanized and mined landscapes, featuring several small dams. Downstream, it flows within a natural channel before joining the Suikerbosrand River, which ultimately feeds into the Vaal River system, making it an important sub-catchment for regional water supply.
