Kleinzee or Kleinsee is a small diamond mining town on the west coast of the Northern Cape province in South Africa, owned by De Beers. A village just south of Grootmis, at the mouth of the Buffels River, 72 km south-east of Port Nolloth and 105 km west of Springbok. Known for its diamond-mining operations. Founded after 1927. The name is Afrikaans and means 'small sea', referring to a lagoon at the mouth of the Buffels River. The Buffels River "flows" through Kleinsee, but most of the time it is just a dry river bed and this river only flows approximately every ten years. Its main school is Kleinsee Primary School. Its population size generally consisted of around 2,000 residents, but was considerably reduced by the down-scaling of mining activities in 2009. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kleinzee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
