Creamer Media's South Africa's Water Sector 2011 Report
Creamer Media, July 2011, Pages: 27
The United Nations General Assembly declared access to clean water and sanitation a human right in July 2010, thus, there is an urgent need to improve how water resources are developed and managed as a way to promote growth and lessen poverty while, at the same time, ensuring environmental sustainability.
Implementing this right will be a particular challenge in Africa where a large percentage of the population live in water-deprived areas. In South Africa, water-management areas are already experiencing water deficits, such as those in the Western Cape; ecosystems and water resources are under pressure by various users; and available resources and appropriate water resources are being affected by decreasing water quality, which, in turn, affects net availability.
This report looks at the issues facing South Africa's water sector, such as water quality and availability, water supply and sanitation and water infrastructure, besides others.
