Water service tariffs do not account for
productive uses
WASH conference 2011
Background ConclusionFindings & AnalysisCase Study
Non sacred spring
Disrupted customary systems
Sacred springs
No catchment protection measures – need for holistic approach
WASH conference 2011
Background ConclusionFindings & AnalysisCase Study
Clarity over service provision functions, governance functions and external support functions and which institutions are better positioned to perform these
Recognition and accounting for productive uses of water to improve the financial sustainability of the system address inequity issues
Holistic perspective of water management that looks beyond the water infrastructure and considers the whole catchment as way of ensuring future water availability and sustainably
External support functions should provide for Assistance in implementing demand management system
(assessment of water uses, prioritization and more adequate tariffs) Training/education in catchment protection Assistance in bringing back customary law (where possible)
