Abstract

Projects in progress At this dedicated plenary session speakers wil share local case studies. A moderated panel discussion will offer a platform for wide participation. al Water resources study successfully completes first year a network adjusted for land use. WR2012 will also for the first time create a publicly-accessible, Web-based and interactive reporting system to continually quantify both the surface and groundwater resources of South Africa. According to WRC Research Manager, Wandile Nomquphu, it was originally planned for the website to only be up and running once the project was completed in 2016, but the high level of interest in the information the project has to offer has prompted the Commission to move the date forward. It is now hoped to have the website functional before the end of the year. Among others, the level of detail of water resources information has been broadened by including more information on reservoirs, land use/water use and other aspects compared to the previous water resource study, WR2005.
