Legislative Mandate

• The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS)

is the custodian of National Water Resources, and is responsible for policy and regulation of the sector.

• Has a mandate to establish Water Management

Institutions (WMI) for the development and management of water resources.

• In the absence of established CMA’s, DWS

undertakes these functions.

Water User Associations

WUAs

• Can be created on an initiative of an interested

party.

• Can also be created on the Minister's prerogative,

when he/she sees the need for such creation, e.g:

• Local control of a government water scheme
• Support of emerging farmers
• Promote co-ordinated development of a resource
• A proposal for the creation of a WUA is prepared

and submitted to the Regional Offices for compliancy assessment

• A WUA is created after extensive and all-inclusive

Public Participation has taken place.

Catchment Mgmt Forums

• Catchment Forums are a formal non-

statutory mechanism to facilitate participation of stakeholders with diverse interests

• Their strength is based on the stakeholders

they represent rather than statutory powers Support functions once the CMA has been established:

• To promote integrated planning and

cooperation between various stakeholders and role-players

• To support the operations of the CMA by

performing activities and implementing projects

Establishment Of CMAs

• The National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS) 2004
• 19 Catchment Management Agencies (CMA) per Water

Management Areas (WMA). eight CMAs were established, two were functional: the Inkomati and Breede- Overberg.

• 6 CMAs were gazetted however, no Governing Boards

were appointed.

• The process of establishing CMAs was put on hold in 2007
• Appropriate number of institutions was investigated

through the “Institutional Reform and Realignment” (IRR) Project.

WMAs AND CMAs

• The IRR made the following recommendations:
• 9 WMAs to be overseen by 9 corresponding CMAs. This is ito the decentralisation
• f WRM which is a core component of the NWRS-2.
• The WMAs were reduced to enable integrated planning and for socio-economic

reasons.

• The foreseen advantages of the amalgamation of WMAs include:

 Improved management of integrated systems which were previously split across WMAs.  Support to a consolidated approach to international and counterparts in international basins.  The enabling of more technically-capacitated areas to be linked to less- resourced capacitated areas.  An improved balance in institutional revenue streams and economies of scale.
