Water Governance SA
Water Governance in South Africa
Water governance is a specific sub-set of environmental governance, refers to the political, social, economic and administrative systems that influence the use and management of water. Essentially, who gets what water, when and how, and who has the right to water and related services, and their benefits.
The Training Course on Water Governance in South Africa covers international principles and concepts underpinning Water Governance in the broader context of our Constitutional rights relating to access to water, administrative justice, and an environment that is not harmful to our health and well-being. It addresses the institutional, financial, and authorisation requirements under the relevant water legislation and regulations that have been promulgated.
