The overall goal of this multi-phase initiative is to
construct a Monitoring and Assessment Information System
(MAIS) delivering water-related information that is effectively
used for decision-making in institutions involved in water
management. The date by which all the significant milestones
should have been accomplished is April 2004.
The purpose of MAIS is to address requirements of the
National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) (NWA), specifically
- Section 137 - requires the
development of monitoring systems,
- Section 138 - requires
establishment of mechanisms and procedures to co-ordinate the
monitoring of water resources, and
- Section 139 - requires
development of national information systems regarding water
resources.
