Published: 2012

Abstract
Corporate investment I t is well known that South Africa is a water scarce country, and one with an almost constant battle being waged between the goals of economic development, ecosystem conservation and mitigation of the damage that has already been done to most of our freshwater ecosystems. It is also widely accepted that most of these issues cannot be solved by traditional engineering solutions or infrastructure development alone. Rather, innovative solutions need to be found that call for a balance between these goals of economic development and ecosystem conservation.
