National Water Act
To provide for fundamental reform of the law relating to water resources; to repeal certain laws; and to provide for matters connected therewith.
Policy and Regulations
The purpose of the report is to understand how water footprints may contribute to sustainable management of water in South Africa primarily in the industrial sector, and to explore linkages between water and energy and the concept of water offsetting.
Monitoring and Evaluation Manual
Effective Monitoring and Evaluation is useful to the extent that it provides information to an effective management system and should ideally be part of a performance management system.
The use of small-scale equipment for evaluating water treatment plants
Water treatment involves the complex interaction of processes such as mixing, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, clarification and disinfection. Tools have been developed to simulate the full-scale water treatment plants in order to optimise and monitor the processes in terms of the chemical dosages and physical parameters.
Meter Management
Water metering is an excellent application of the principle to measure, is to know, and knowledge of what is happening with the water in a distribution system is the key to properly managing this resource.
The State of Water Metering in South Africa
High levels of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) are a major challenge for municipalities and utilities worldwide
Evaluation Toolkit
Gauteng has limited natural water resources and therefore relies on a very large and highly engineered system called the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS) which draws water from five different river basins across six provinces.
Water Demand Management
This guide concentrates on highlighting the key issues in simple and straightforward terms in an attempt to explain what interventions can be undertaken in order to reduce water losses from municipal water supply networks and how best to implement them.
Aqualite Water balance software
AQUALITE is the first of a new generation of models designed to assist water suppliers in managing their non-revenue water. It is effectively an annual water-audit model based on the latest IWA best practice. It has been developed through close co-operation of numerous internationally recognized water loss managers from several countries and incorporates a host of features, many of which are not available in other water audit models.
