Water & Sanitation Dept: Water might constrain economic development
South Africa doesn’t have a water crisis, but there is scarcity according to the Water and Sanitation Department’s Director-General, Sean Phillips.
He says risk assessments indicate that water might limit economic development in future.
Phillips said, “it’s a mixed picture, overall we’re not in a water crisis, we are water-scarce country.”
“We do run risks that especially with climate change, drought.”
“Water might become a constraint to economic development in South Africa. As a country, we all need to use water much more sparingly. Municipalities need to reduce water leaks.”
“The second challenge that we have is that there’s still some communities who don’t get supplied with water. The third key problem is that water infrastructure at municipality level is not being maintained.”
