Water conservation and water demand management

• One of the general principles of water allocation is that water use must be efficient.

• Hence, before DWA can approve a water use licence the efficiency of the existing water use must be clearly demonstrated.

• A WC/WDM analysis has therefore been carried out to quantify the water supply situation in terms of acceptable benchmarks.

• Benchmarks:– Per/capita water use– Water use per household– Non-revenue water– Losses/unaccounted for water
