SA Waterbulletin February 1989

Abstract

MANAGEMENT During the past 25 years, many water resources and environmental management strategies have been developed and implemented. As the next century quickly approaches, there is a need to review and assess the laws and programmes that have been employed. Those laws and programmes which have been successful must be retained whilst those that have failed or become ineffective should be relinquished or modified. This Symposium will critically examine current water laws and their impact on environmental management, especially in the South African context, with a view to making concrete recommendations for the designing of future water-related environmental management strategies. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Water managers, resource planners, legal professionals, decision-makers, researchers and engineers, and all interested persons wishing to acquire a better knowledge of the current status of, and issues affecting, water law and management in southern Africa.
