The Strategy focuses on the following technical tasks:
Developing water requirement and return flow scenarios; Assessment of the water resource availability; Evaluation of bulk infrastructure plans and identification of proposed
extensions; Identification and assessment of appropriate water resource augmentation
options; Investigation of possible wastewater re-use options; Identification of environmental and water quality-related issues; and Documentation of the reconciliation process and strategy.
The following objectives have been set for the water reconciliation strategy:
Identify interventions that will reconcile the water requirements with
the available water for the next 25 years; Develop a strategy that will be flexible to accommodate future changes in
actual water use; Integrate augmentation and bulk supply options to achieve optimised overall
benefits; Engage extensively with stakeholders to build partnerships and promote
co-operation; Assess the potential savings that can be achieved through water conservation
and water demand management measures, as well as the potential for reconciling
current and future water requirements; and Communicate the findings regularly to all stakeholders.
