3. Some Interesting Facts Whilst 75% of the world is covered in water, only 2.5% is fresh water. Only 1% of this water is easily accessible. South Africa is the 30 th driest country in the world. 2015 was recorded as the hottest and driest year in South Africa. (El Nino) Unlike most cities in the world, Johannesburg for example was not founded near a major river. We found gold first and then looked for water. Gauteng Province – The Economic Hub of South Africa (36% of SA’s GDP) – Smallest Province in terms of size – Most populous Province (24% of SA population) – Only 22% of people who live in Gauteng were born here. This Gauteng (and its surrounding areas) continue to be supplied with bulk potable water from Rand Water for over 113 years. 3

7. National Water Act

8. This Act outlines the responsibilities of Local Municipalities regarding water services. It deals mainly with the responsibilities arounds upply of good quality potable (drinkable) water and sanitation services. Outlines roles of Water Services Providers (e.g. Rand Water) vs Water Services Authorities (e.g City of Johannesburg’s Jo’burg Water) When the requirements of this Act are not met, the following becomes the result. Water Services Act

9. Service Delivery Protests, Madibeng, Bronkhorstspruit, Bekkersdal, Sebokeng, etc. Over 2000 Protests in 2011-2013.Injustices of the past??, Government’s Incompetence??, Speedy rollout of new infrastructure, as well as proper maintenance of the existing one.

10. Rand Water, a SOE, was established in 1903, to supply bulk potable water to Gauteng and its surroundings. It supplies an average of about 4400Ml/d (Umgeni Water 1200Ml/d) through a 3300km (Umgeni Water 746km) pipelines network at 375m pumping head. About Rand Water

11. Operations Overview

12. Rand Water Customer Base

13. Demand Versus Supply Operational capacity is 4 662 Ml/d. Maximum consumption day 4 962 Ml/d. Maximum 7 day average 4 712 Ml/d. Additional demand supplied from reservoir storage. Non revenue water in Gauteng ranges between 18-44%, with an average of 36%. This means that 1 700Ml is wasted every day estimated at R8bn per annum. Project 15% from DWS. 13

16. Desalination of sea water to potable standards (costs, disposal of brine). Water treatment using nanotechnology. Use of grey water for non potable use. Modern day ablution facilities. Waterless bath etc. 16 Research and Development in Water

17. Water Use Efficiency and Recycling. Rands per Ton Litres per Ton?? “What gets measured gets done” Business Processes Re-engineering 17 Your Company’s Intervention

18. House hold usage Swimming Pools Fixing of water leaks Use of dual flushing toilets/ waterless toilets Usage of grey water/ground water (Rain Water Harvesting) Watering of gardens, mornings and afternoons to prevent evaporation. 18 Your Intervention at a personal Level

19. Rand Water’s Intervention Vigorous CAPEX drive (R1.5 bn per annum) for refurbishment and augmentation. Water use efficiency and reduction of NRW. Raw Water Augmentation from Lesotho Water Highlands Development Project. Continued efforts to jointly work with customers in reducing water demand. 19

20. Water Challenges Slow Economic Growth Low Commodity Prices Ailing Rand/Looming Ratings Downgrade Unemployment Poverty, inequality Brawls in Parliament etc. etc. 20 Present Day South Africa

Nkosinani and Clarence are two youngsters who are doing small things to make a big difference. Nkosinani carries heavy bottles of water to school – a 5km walk each day – to help others. Clarence cleans roadside gutters to uplift his community. 21 Present Day South Africa

22. Conclusion 22 “When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives”. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
