The Preamble to the National Water Act (NWA) Act
36 of 1998, recognizes "the need for the
integrated management of all aspects of water
resources and, where appropriate, the delegation
of management functions to a regional or
catchment level so as to enable everyone to
participate."
3
The DWAF / DANIDA IWRM Project seeks to establish
institutional arrangements at catchment level,
develop strategies, tools and systems to achieve
sustainable groundwater management and water
conservation and demand management strategies.
4
IWRM goals can only be met if individuals and
organisations fufill new roles in effectively
managing local water resources, to do this they
need to possess the necessary competancies,
including task-specific skills, a cultivation of
general attitudes, awareness, values, knowledge
and abilities.
5
Capacity building ensuring effective water
resources management is designed around
1. A holistic approach (environmental, social
and economic).2. Devolution and decentralisation
of functions to lowest appropriate level.3.
Increased involvement of small-scale water
users in decision-making processes. 4. Improved
opportunities for dialogue among diverse
stakeholders. 5. Addressing past discrimination
and inequalities, wrt race and gender.
6
To meet the capacity building requirements
different programmes were designed
1. Administrative Skills (WF Secreatariat).2.
Water Champions (WF Members).3. Developmental
Project Cycle Management (NGO's,
Municipalities and Government). 4. Skills
transfer in Groundwater and Water
Conservation Demand Management
(Municipalities).
