The Groundwater Strategy (GS) is the outcome of a three-year consultative
process, led by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). It is designed to ensure
that groundwater is recognised, utilized and protected as an integral part of
South Africa's water resource. The Strategy is divided into a series of themes
or chapters, each of which has a number of recommended actions which address the
challenges raised in the theme. The Strategy is designed as an input document to
the National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS) 2nd edition.
Status
The GS has been completed. If there are have any questions or comment please
