2 National Water Conservation and Water Demand Management Programme Directorate: Water Use Efficiency Presentation to Parliamentary Portfolio Committee Water and Forestry 28 June 2008 Be Water wise

3 Presentation overview Need for WCWDM Immediate goals of National WCWDM Programme Progress with implementation National WCWDM Plan Achievements Challenges Strategic road - map

4 Water reconciliation, year 2000

5 Pressing needs for WC/WDM SA is a water scarce country Many catchments are already in (water) deficit Water is required for: Economic growth (6% ASGISA) Basic human needs (Social dev) Reserve (environment) International agreements (Inco-Maputo) Equity/ redistribution (WAR) Further augmentation increasingly expensive: TRUE VALUE OF H 2 O=SOCIO - ECONOMIC GOOD!

6 GOALS OF NATIONAL WC/WDM PROGRAMME Optimize the use of water within existing water supply infrastructure Create required lead time for augmentation schemes Improvements in the equity in allocation Freed up water from WC/WDM can be used to benefit sectors who previously did not have access to water Stimulate economic growth by allocating water to sectors producing high value goods Improvement and attainment of environmental sustainability Increase water use efficiency and productivity Economic efficiency : more output per water use

7 National WCWDM Key Programmes Budget investment for the programme = R70 Million SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS Waterwise Campaign SA Youth Water Prize WC/WDM Ministerial Sector Awards Training materials & capacity building Community Water Education Programme ECONOMIC INTERVENTIONS Incentives for WC/WDM WC/WDM Pricing Strategy WC/WDM guidelines on tariff structures Potential subsidy for WEDs investigation TECHNICAL INTERVENTIONS National WUE website and information System - WC/WDM KPI and benchmark establishment Roll out of Water Efficient Devices (WED) in government buildings Drive for universal metering of actual use LEGISLATIVE INTERVENTIONS WC/WDM regulations, policies WC/WDM Conditions, Guidelines, etc. WC/WDM national standards & WELS Generic Mining Guidelines Regional Institutionalization

11 Some expectations on WC/WDM program: Introduction of WELS Products

12 Eight Pilot Municipalities: +/ Jobs created 2007/08

13 Community Water Education Programme We have been able to create employment for over 350 people. Provided life skills that will promote efficient and equitable water use. Communities become committed to the project and take ownership of it, as the project is implemented by people they know. Attained partnerships e.g. SANParks Created +/- 800 jobs

14 Through indigent household retrofitting and leak repair programme, water consumption within FBW fraction - Minister In Kwa-Thema 19 March 2008

15 Agricultural Irrigation Sector WCWDM

16 Conveyance System in Irrigation Schemes Lack of universal metering/measurement for water use across water supply and use chain in the agricultural sector Refurbishment and Maintenance of canals not up to scratch WAS not fully running High water losses and return flows Manifestation of aquatic weeds and water grass

17 Irrigation Systems Roll out of Efficient Systems and Incentive Scheme to promote its up take

18 COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITHIN THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR

19 Commission One: LOCAL GOVERNMENT WCWDM Programme WCWDM Programme Industries, Mining and Power Generation Sector WC / WDM INDABA 2007

20 IMP Sector WCWDM Programme Legislate provision of site-specific data, varying reporting requirements to suit each industry on the basis of water intensity Use acquired data to develop benchmarks applicable to processes employed i.e. more than one possible benchmark within an industry Compel water-intensive industries to produce plans for improvement with targets derived from above. Monitor and enforce compliance to agreed plans. Penalize negligent wastage based on performance trends Develop generic and industry-specific

21 COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH WATER SECTOR- MoU WITH ESKOM Be Water wise DWAF & ESKOM MOU Signing Ekurhuleni 19 March 2008

24 ESTABLISH WATER EFFICIENT LABELLING STANDARD FOR SOUTH AFRICA DWAF - Custodians of WELS - Facilitate implementation Manufacturing Industries -Cobra - RST -Ebsemia SABS -Establish regulatory standard The Dti - Regulatory function for industries Technical Committee -Members of water committee

25 ESTABLISH WATER EFFICIENT LABELLING STANDARD Products Standard Performance (l/minutes) WELS Performance (l/minutes) Shower Heads Toilet Urinals 2.2 l/ per flush 1.5 per flush 30 Percentage of water savings Washing machines 25 l/batch 17 l/batch 30 Dishwashers 11 l/batch 8 9 l/batch 50 Taps Flow restrictors absent present < 30

26 Commission Three: AGRICULTURAL WC / WDM INDABA 2007

27 Community Awareness and Education AN EDUCATION PROGRAMME THAT AIMS: - To have communities supporting their Local Authorities with the implementation of WC/WDM - To educate communities to value and save water for the improvement of local development and poverty alleviation hence the slogan save water, save money

32 Increased Public Awareness Focus on informing the community about WDM Procedure: Multi media (local radio stations and newspapers) Visual material (posters) Reading material (pamphlets)

33 Challenges facing WCWDM Institutionalization of WCWDM in all water use sectors Establishment of revolving WCWDM fund Improve awareness and education at national scale Deepen collaboration and partnership with the sector partners Share information about successes and achievements of WCWDM intervention programmes

34 Immediate interventions in municipalities that drives demand at key water supply system Finish off Water Efficiency Labelling Standard (WELS) and WUE Regulations Beef up awareness and education Operationalise WUE - IS Way - ahead Finish off situation assessment in WMA for review NWRS Roll out metering strategy for water use in the agriculture irrigation sector

35 In most areas, water savings will not be realized overnight ( WC /WDM is not an event, but a long term process - Sustainable Strategic BP s) 2005 TO 2010 YEAR STRATEGY Reduce non-revenue water (real losses, property leakage) 2010 TO 2025 YEAR STRATEGY Maintain level of non-revenue water and efficient use 2015 TO 2025 YEAR STRATEGY Reduce inefficient usage (Billed consumption)
