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.
