DEFINITION OF RMP
RMP is a tool which aims to manage the utilisation of water resource and the surrounding
environment in ways which promote community participation and beneficiation,
environmental sustainability and to unlock socio-economic potential of the water resource.
OLD APPROACH
ZONING PLANS
• Traditionally Applied only to State Dams
• Spatial and Environmental in Nature
• Not Consider Economic and Social Issues
• Lacked Guidelines Regarding Institutionalisation
SUSTAINABLE UTILISATION PLAN (SUP)
• Focus on implementation : Business Plan and Common Goals
• Builds trust by showing that the needs and expectations of the community are
important and essential for participatory planning.
• Incorporation in to Local Municipal Development Planning initiatives:
Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) etc.
RMP MANDATE
Reference To Section 113 of The National Water Act (NWA) 36 of 1998
• The water of a government waterwork (GWW) and the surrounding state-owned land
may be made available for recreational purposes, either generally or for a specific
purpose, on the conditions and to the persons determined by the minister.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
These are the policies that have been developed in relation to the use of GWWs:
• The Regulations in respect of government dams and surrounding State-owned
land, No. R654 of 1964.
• Recreational Water Use Manual Policy (2004).
• RMP Guideline RWU GP2 (2006).
• General Strategic Plan for Commercialisation for Tourism Public Private
Partnership at GWW (2009).
GOVERNMENT WATERWORKS (GWWS)
Refers to any borehole, structure, earthwork or equipment installed in connection with
water use which is owned or controlled by the minister and includes the land on which it
is situated.
Examples of waterworks include:
• Water storage dams;
• Water transfer schemes; and
• Flood attenuation works.
