Govern and regulate the sector

The roles of sector leader are crucial in having #AllHandsOnDeck for an integrated approach towards a secure water future in SA. DWS is responsible for the setting of standards and regulation of water use and effluent discharge across the country. Municipalities are responsible for developing by-laws that enable regulation of water services provision and use. This session explores how the key actors need to work across boundaries with other institutions and state departments to place water in the centre of future growth and well-being of South Africa. This session will afford the opportunity to allow for answers to be given by the Sector Leaders, public agenices and state departments on the adequacy of the current legislative framework to allow for effective and integrated Governance and Regulation. This promises to be interactive and robust sessions where leaders respond to the water sector conversation. Various players will be invited to participate, i.e. DoE, DEA, CoGTA, SALGA, DMR, SDT, Eskom, dti, TCTA, agriculture, finance, mineral affairs, education, NBF, SWPN, professional bodies (MIESA, SAICE, WISA, SACNASP), etc.
