The Olifants River and its smaller tributaries are responsible for the drainage of this area. The Western part of this region is drained by the Elands and Moses Rivers. The Elands River has its origin near Hammanskraal in the far South Western part of the region. Water from the B2 drainage region joins the Olifants River upstream of Loskop Dam. The major reservoir in this region is Loskop Dam and is situated in the Olifants River near the town of Groblersdal. The two major reservoirs in the Elands River are Rhenosterkop and Rust de Winter Dams and are responsible for primary and irrigation purposes respectively.

The main features in this area are agriculture, low industrial development and residential areas.
