Management agency for river
2005-05-19
IN order to focus future resource planning, the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry has appointed an association of Ninham Shand Consulting Services and UWP Consulting to undertake a study to reconcile future demands with supply options for the Western Cape Water Supply System.
The System serves the municipalities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Wellington, as well as towns on the West Coast and in the Swartland area and irrigators along the Berg, Eerste and Riviersonderend Rivers.
This study will also be used to launch the process to establish a Catchment Management Agency (CMA) for the Berg Water Management Area to ensure the protection, use, development, conservation, management and control of the water resources.
A Reference Group of stakeholders will be selected to guide the process to establish the Berg CMA.
A public meetings to explain the process, to obtain important input into the possible options and to assist in electing representatives to serve on the Catchment Management Agency Reference will be held in the Paarl Town Hall on Thursday 2 June at 18:30.
