11. Low growth water demand scenario can be fully satisfied over the entire planning horizon without a dam 15% WC/WDM saving for Nelspruit is very conservative. Current use is 468 litres/capita/day. Nelspruit should be able to save 30% With 30% WC/WDM saving, the high growth water demand scenario can be satisfied almost over the entire planning horizon Boschjeskop Dam or alternative dam will be more than adequate but should be postponed as far in future as possible Conclusions For Nelspruit

12. Development of the WC/WDM plan and implementation strategy The current IAP removal programme should be checked and if necessary, the focus areas should be changed and the programme accelerated. Borehole siting for southern area of Nelspruit Urgent Actions Required

13. Extent of IAP infestation upstream of Kwena Dam. Extent of unlawful irrigation water use in Crocodile River Catchment. (Validation and Verification process of ICMA) Area of fallow irrigation lands with water entitlements with no or limited risks of farm workers losing jobs which can possibly be earmarked for water trading.

20. Water requirements can be met with the available water resources throughout the entire planning period WC/WDM should be implemented despite the availability of sufficient water to this area as the water is required elsewhere No further interventions required for White River Conclusions For White River

21. The tariff structure of White River needs to be revised. There should be a sliding scale tariff – the more water a user uses the higher the tariff becomes. Currently it is just the opposite in White River. Urgent Actions Required

22. Different literature sources give different population figures and water demands. A physical house count has been done for this study. Consensus must be sought on what the population for this area should be. Towards Final Strategy – Further Information Required

23. Areas Included: –Areas in Nsikazi South ( e.g. Tekwane North, Mamelodi and Emoyeni) –Plaston –Karino Town Karino - Plaston Corridor

24. Water Balance For Karino - Plaston Without Interventions

25. Currently: 814 litres per capita per day Far above the norm! More reasonable use: 250 litres/c/d + 30% losses = 325 litres/c/d This is approximately 60% less than current domestic use! Karino-Plaston Domestic Water Use

29. The growth in water demand is very steep The current water use in Karino-Plaston Corridor is far above the norm A water balance can be achieved with only the surplus from White River Conclusions For Karino - Plaston

30. Correct and stabilise water supply abstraction and distribution system. Develop a WC/WDM plan and implementation strategy for the area. The effect of implementation will only be observed once the water supply system is stable. Initiate a WC/WDM awareness launch asap. Develop system operating rules for Primkop Dam. Urgent Actions Required

31. Confirm White River town water demand and ascertain that the White River surplus will be available. Towards Final Strategy – Further Information Required

33. Water Balance For Nsikazi South Without Interventions

34. Currently: 263 litres per capita per day Too high! More reasonable use: 120 litres/c/d + 30% losses = 156 litres/c/d This is approximately 41% less than current domestic use! Karino-Plaston Domestic Water Use

38. WC/WDM should be implemented but the effect will only be observed once the water supply and distribution system has been stabilised. MLM is currently over-abstracting from the Crocodile River for Nsikazi South. This could have a detrimental effect on the aquatic environment or downstream users. MLM will have to reduce their abstraction to the allowed licence value of 18.3 million m/a or source additional water through temporary trading. This may result in water restrictions for the demand centre for the next 7-8 years. Once Boschjeskop Dam ( or any other dam option) comes into operation, Nsikazi South will have adequate water. Conclusions For Nsikazi South

39. Correct and stabilise water supply abstraction and distribution system Develop a WC/WDM plan and implementation strategy for the area and initiate a WC/WDM awareness launch asap. The current IAP removal programme should be checked and if necessary, the focus areas should be changed and the programme accelerated. Groundwater can be developed to contribute to overcome the short term water shortages Urgent Actions Required

40. Area of fallow irrigation lands with water entitlements with no or limited risks of farm workers losing jobs which can possibly be earmarked for water trading. The preferred dam option needs to be selected and implementation considered by means of a feasibility study Towards Final Strategy – Further Information Required

41. Matsulu

42. Water Balance For Matsulu – Without Any Interventions

43. Currently: 353 litres per capita per day Too high! More reasonable use: 120 litres/c/d + 30% losses = 156 litres/c/d This is approximately 56% less than current domestic use! Matsulu Domestic Water Use

46. Water Balance For Matsulu – With WC/WDM, GW & Irrigation entitlements Resource Groundwater Water Trading (Temporary) Surplus from Nsikazi South

47. MLM is currently over abstracting from the Crocodile River. WC/WDM and groundwater development will make a difference but will not achieve the required water balance. MLM will have to look at water trading on a temporary basis If the dam option is opted for, Matsulu will also share in this benefit but then the water balance is reached much later. Water restrictions might have to be implemented during the first number of years if MLM fails with water trading Conclusions For Matsulu

48. WC/WDM need to be implemented. A WC/WDM plan needs to be developed and implemented as a matter of urgency. 25% saving should be the target as Matsulu residents currently receive too much water. Borehole siting should be done with latest technology (e.g. radon gas emanation) Urgent Actions Required

49. Area of fallow irrigation lands with water entitlements with no or limited risks of farm workers losing jobs which can possibly be earmarked for water trading. Rainwater harvesting potential. Towards Final Strategy – Further Information Required

52. Water Balance For Hazyview Without Interventions

53. Currently: 485 litres per capita per day Far above the norm! More reasonable use: 250 litres/c/d + 30% losses = 325 litres/c/d This is approximately 33% less than current domestic use! Hazyview Domestic Water Use

56. Hazyview With WC/WDM, Groundwater & Water Trading

57. Water restrictions might become necessary over the first number of years Higher WC/WDM savings than 15% might result that the water trading option becomes unnecessary. If Sabie River Reserve is optimised, additional yield may become available. Conclusions For Hazyview

58. Development of the WC/WDM plan and implementation strategy Borehole siting in or near Hazyview with latest technologies Urgent Actions Required

59. Rainwater harvesting to be investigated further as option Area of fallow irrigation lands with water entitlements with no or limited risks of farm workers losing jobs which can possibly be earmarked for water trading. Towards Final Strategy – Further Information Required

61. Water Balance For Nsikazi North Without Interventions

62. Currently, with unlicensed package plants: 184 litres/c/d Reasonable use: 120 litres/c/d + 30% losses = 156 litres/c/d This is slightly less than current domestic use. However, supply system is unstable and water supply is frequently interrupted. Nsikazi North Domestic Water Use

65. Temporary package plants need to be authorised and abstraction needs to be continued over the first number of years. Alternatively water restrictions might have to be imposed. WC/WDM needs to be implemented but the effect can only be observed when the supply system has been stabilised The optimisation of the Sabie River Reserve could be an alternative to the water trading option. This is dependent on the resource classification process of DWA. Conclusions For Nsikazi North

66. Correct and stabilise water supply abstraction and distribution system Initiate a WC/WDM awareness launch Boreholes to be sited along shear zone Validation & Verification to be completed by ICMA Policy on water trading to be developed Urgent Actions Required
