Klipdam op plaas Naby, near Niekerkshoop in the Northern Cape, is a historical well and water source dating to around 1901. The site consists of a stone dam (klipdam) and an adjacent waterput (well), which are still in use today. This infrastructure reflects the arid environment of the region, where reliable water sources were critical for farming and survival. The dam and well likely served the agricultural needs of the farm 'Naby' and the surrounding community during the early 20th century. Niekerkshoop itself is a small settlement in the Northern Cape, established in the late 19th century, and such water features were typical of the era's rural water management in the Karoo landscape.
