South Africa – Water Management

South Africa is one of 30 driest countries in the world. Water matters, and it matters a lot. It supports agriculture and the economy. It is also manageable and conservation plays a vital role.

– South Africans must do more to save water. That’s the call from Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs Ms Buyelwa Sonjica as the country gears up to celebrate National Water Week (15-21 March 2010). Water Week is an annual campaign that mobilizes citizens to appreciate the value of water as a scarce natural resource and this year it focuses on the important aspect of water conservation and demand management.
