Welcome to the Blue Deal SA Programme

Access to clean, sufficient and safe water for 2.5 million people in South Africa in 2030: that is the goal of the Blue Deal South Africa Partnership. In this partnership South African Water Institutions work together with the Dutch Water Authorities. The first four local projects have been identified to improve the water quality for the period of 2019 – 2022. Combating pollution, optimisation of waste water treatment plants and combating invasive species are a few of the local goals.

The effect of the projects will exceed the local results because the lessons learned can also be used elsewhere. For example:

• If you are involved in a project with impact of invasive species, go to the tab Exchange of Experiences for inspiring results shared in the webinar Combating the Water Hyacinth of 9th September 2020.
• If you are a manager of a Waste Water Treatment Plant you might be interested in the webinar Safe Waste Water Treatment Operations under COVID-19 with Virtual Assessment Techniques of 18th November 2020. You’ll find information on that subject under the tab Exchange of Experiences

Under the tab Exchange of Experiences you’ll find more information about attending to the webinars or sharing the results.
