DWAF/WRC alliance strengthened

Abstract

The alliance between the Department of Water Affairs & Forestry (DWAF) and the Water Research Commission (WRC) has been strengthened after the WRC hosted a successful Open Day customdesigned for DWAF personnel at its Rietfontein, Pretoria, offices in March. More than 60 DWAF personnel took up the organisation’s invitation to learn more about the inner workings of South Africa’s premier water knowledge hub. As Dr Heidi Snyman, WRC’s Director for Water-Centred Knowledge explains, the main aim of the Open Day was to reinforce the partnership between the department and the WRC, and to share information on the organisation’s activities which align strongly with DWAF’s strategic objectives. “ At the same time, the department had the opportunity to share its needs and challenges with the WRC.” Above left: Morake Malope, DWAF Geohydrology Technician thought the presentations were highly informative and he was especially interested in the work undertaken by the WRC Key Strategic Area for Water Resources Management.
