NATIONAL WATER RESOURCE STRATEGY 2
INTRODUCTION• Legislative requirement: National Water Act requires NWRS to be regularly
reviewed/updated
• Process of developing NWRS2
• Legislative process - consultation;
• Strategy redrafted to take into account comments and alignment with Government’s objectives and existing frameworks, NDP
• Finalised in June 2013
• Policy issues, policy positions drafted, consultation with water users, Cabinet approval in Dec 2013
• Involvement of DWS Chapter Leaders in drafting and implementing NWRS2 • Implementation:
• Sector approach• DWS Sector Leaders • Usage of WSSLG as platform• Success of Skills Task Team in drafting implementation plan for NWRS2 Chapter 15 4
NATIONAL WATER RESOURCE STRATEGY 2
• South Africa’s Vision for 2030 demands sufficient water resources
• Water must provide for growth & development
• Our water resource is already stressed
• Water scarcity threatens energy production, food security, economic growth & quality of life
• This strategy addresses current & future water demands for 2030 vision and simultaneously ensure the sustainability of our water resource

Alignment with National Development Plan“Equity, Growth and Development”
NATIONAL WATER RESOURCE STRATEGY 2
NWRS2 Strategic objectives are now aligned to National Water Act and NDP, ensuring that: • Water supports development and elimination
of poverty and inequality• Water contributes to the
economy and job creation• Water is protected, used,
developed, conserved & managed
• Water is controlled sustainably and equitably

NATIONAL WATER RESOURCE STRATEGY 2
PRINCIPLES AND APPROACH TO NWRS2 IMPLEMENTATION• Participatory approach with emphasis on citizens’ participation and
implementation commitment by all water users and sector stakeholders• Partnerships with private sector and civil society (the success of the
NWRS2 is dependent on all stakeholders not just the public sector)• Good governance including transparency, accountability, equity,
responsiveness, predictability, integrated sectoral planning, clarification of roles and responsibilities
• Centrality of water in planning and decision making where all sectors consider water availability in their development planning
• NWRS2 Implementation Framework will guide development of Implementation Plans to operationalise the Strategy Developed in collaborative manner with sector stakeholders and water
users - per water use type and group: strong sector orientation

NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL RAINFALL AND DAM STORAGE TRENDS
KWAZULU-NATAL
• Average rainfall for May 2015 was 3.9 mm which was lower than the 30.3 mm average rainfall for April 2015
• Percentage water storage in the province has not significantly changed from the previous week but dropped significantly as compared to the previous year’s storage at this time
• The KwaZulu-Natal reservoir trends, shows all the June averages since 1980, with the red bar being the June 2015. The graph above indicates that the current storage is ranked amongst the 7th lowest since 1980 at nearly 48 percent reservoir storage

Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was developed to monitor the occurrence of droughts
from rainfall data. The index quantifies precipitation deficits on different time scales and
therefore also drought severity. It provides an indication of rainfall
conditions per quaternary catchment based on the historical distribution of rainfall.
