The water sector in South Africa is currently going
through a period of major change and reform. This has
profound implications for both water management and
water services in rural and urban areas. The recent National
Water Act (RSA, 1998) has established the basis for
management of water resources on a catchment basis (for
equity, efficiency and sustainability), and the Water Services
Act (RSA, 1997) aims to ensure everybody has access
to basic water supply and sanitation services.
