Water research - Looking at the next 40 years

Abstract

Water sector The WRC has been commissioning research to serve the needs of the water sector for 40 years – since it came into being in 1971. That body of knowledge has served to bring the sector to where it is today, and has served to keep South Africa at the cutting edge of water management. With the WRC having celebrated its 40-year existence through a special conference, one can ask what can be said about research in the next 40 years, and what some of the key challenges of the next 40 years might be. In looking forward, we can best start with where we are now, and what we know now.
