WATER CRISIS BY 2020
South Africa faces a water crisis and could experience shortages as early as
2020, experts told the South African Water and Energy Forum. Mike Muller
told delegates that 'a crisis is looming … if we don't panic now and take action
we will be in a crisis by 2020'. The shortage will largely be due to water
demand outstripping supply and to a lesser extent by poor water quality due
to infrastructure deteriorating. Other contributing factors include leaking pipes
and the theft of water by farmers along the Vaal River.
Governments and municipalities are urged to build water infrastructure
immediately. It is also important that companies understand their water
footprint. Companies in Europe are thinking of detailing the water footprint of
every item they sell.
