In its efforts to ensure that South Africa is a water wise country that values water, the Department of Water and Sanitation will heighten its activities to encourage water conservation through its Water Use Efficiency Campaign to run throughout the year.

Water Use Efficiency Campaign, under the theme: “South Africa is a water scarce country - Use water wisely and sparingly”, aims to educate all water users to inculcate the culture of saving water. In addition, the campaign seeks to conscietise South Africans that everyone has a role to play in ensuring water security, now and for future generations.

The objectives of the Water Use Efficiency Campaign are to:

• Raise awareness about the importance of water
• Encourage behavioural change on water users
• Educate the entire sector that South Africa is a water scarce country
• Offer water saving tips
