Progress on NWRS2: Draft Feedback and Future Directions
The first draft of the National Water Resource Strategy 2 (NWRS2) was published on September 7, 2012, inviting public comments by the original deadline of December 7, 2012, which was later extended to January 31, 2013. Various consultation workshops were held across provinces and sectors, with most receiving formal submissions. However, some sectors, such as Finance, Infrastructure, Skills Development, and Research, are still pending workshops scheduled for February/March. Going forward, it is crucial to ensure all Department of Water Affairs (DWA) and sector programs are aligned under one NWRS, along with agreed implementation plans and effective communication strategies.
