Analysis to determine whether CRIDF should support water demand management measures in local authorities across South Africa
This study describes an analysis to determine what the water and financial savings might be if water demand management (WDM) was implemented in 62 local authorities across South Africa. The analysis found that there are significant benefits for local authorities – with considerable savings in water and costs. The pro-poor benefits are also substantial, with local authorities better positioned to improve supplies in under-serviced areas. Increases in overall water availability are modest, even if all the water saved is left in the river. One of the recommendations made is that CRIDF support WDM interventions in specific cases.
