DWS to hold public consultations on the development of Eutrophication Management Strategy for South Africa
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) will hold public consultations on the development of the Eutrophication Management Strategy for South Africa today, Friday, 14 October 2022.
The public consultations are meant to obtain inputs, commitments, and support from key water sector stakeholders in order to improve the management of water resources in the country.
The National Water Act, 1998 (Act 36 of 1998) provides for the protection, use, conservation, management, and control of water resources in an efficient, sustainable, and equitable manner. The Act also lays down measures that are intended to ensure comprehensive protection of water resources.
The Department of Water and Sanitation has therefore developed the National Eutrophication Management Strategy which will address issues related to the degradation of water resources.
Media are invited to attend the public consultations on the Eutrophication Management Strategy, and the details are as follows:
Date: Friday, 14 October 2022
Venue: Midrand Conference Centre
