WHAT IS WATER STEWARDSHIP?(Understanding that we cannot manage water alone)
The use of water that is socially equitable, environmentally sustainable and
economically beneficial, achieved through a stakeholder process that
involves site and catchment-based actions.
Good water stewards:
• Understand their own water use- catchment context;
• Share risk in terms of water governance, water balance, water quality
and important water-related areas;
• Engage in meaningful individual and collective actions that benefit
people and nature.
Collective Action where it matters according to challenge at watershed level
(saving/replenishment towards water balance equilibrium)
