CSIR Mandate

"The objects of the CSIR are, through directed and

particularly multi-disciplinary research and

technological innovation, to foster, in the national

interest and in fields which in its opinion should

receive preference, industrial and scientific

development, either by itself or in co-operation with

principals from the private or public sectors, and

thereby to contribute to the improvement of the

quality of life of the people of the Republic, and to

perform any other functions that may be assigned to

the CSIR by or under this Act.”

Waste water treatment

People per square kilometre


• Waste water treatment plant operates effectivelyo Sludge deactivated – decreased health risko Increased capacity – no raw sludge in open veldo Reduced operational cost (e.g. biogas to electricity)

• Job creationo Use of sludge for compost – community programme

• Less pollution:o Ground water used by communitieso Less risky use of water downstreamo Pilot implementation at Rietvlei dam & Hartebeespoort dam

• Quick responses to water quality problems

• Integrated planning and service deliveryo Long-term solutions to water quality, quantity and effectiveness

What difference will this make?


Water Sustainability Flagship

To contribute to the equitable, efficient and sustainable use of water to ensure that South Africa attains its national social and economic growth and development aspirations (2014 & 2025)

Water Sector Leadership Group (WSLG) including DWA, DEA, SALGA (planners, water users [incl. effluent dischargers] and authorities)

InterventionAreas

Short term (18 – 24mths)

Medium(3 – 5 yrs)

Planning andgovernance

• Customise Urban Dynamics Platform for water decision support

• Develop and implement planning & governance solutions at basin scale

• Monitor and evaluate
