The Problem...

When   it   comes   to   water   and   sanitation,   there   are   numerous   challenges   that require immediate solution. Some of these include: • Scarce    fresh    water    supplies    are    available    and    water    demand    is beginning to exceed available supplies • Massive     backlogs     in     service     delivery     -     1.4     million     households, predominately    rural,    have    never    been    given    sanitation    services,    3.8 million households have inadequate sanitation services • A   number   of   municipalities   are   in   a   crisis   state   with   respect   to   water   and sanitation services whilst numerous others are at high risk • Huge   amounts   of   water   is   wasted   through   poor   management   and   limited recycling (grey water) systems. • Unenclosed and undignified toilet systems are prevalent in all provinces
