When did climate change start?

Fact:

1. NMBM has a drought every 4 years over at least the last 20 yrs!

2. Every drought is broken by a flood or heavy rainfall.

3. Any persistent rain appears to be causing flooding!

6. AFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Drought / flood cycles occurs regularly.

Drought / flood future: No rain periods will be more prolonged!

Rainfall period shorter & more intense!

Will our water sources be sufficient?

Affects of El Nino & La Nino!

Urbanisation creates greater impact on same water sources.

Housing Programme (80 000 units).

Economic growth

7. CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION Water Master Plan:

NCLLS: water from different catchment (R770M)

Recycling of wastewater (R1,5 Billion)

Industrial use

Indirect potable use

WC/WDM (R57M pa)

NRW – leak detection etc.

Water Saving Awareness Campaign.

WC/WDM must be an ongoing programme.

Groundwater (R150)

Desalination (R1 Billion)

New infrastructure to support development.

7. CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION cont…

Sanitation Master Plan: Upgrading of 6 wastewater treatment works (R1.6 Billion):

Energy efficiency

Energy abstraction

Rehabilitation of reticulation network:

Reduce ingress of stormwater

New infrastructure to support development

Rehabilitation of pump stations.

7. CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION cont…

Design intervention: Energy Efficiency:

Operational Efficiency.

Equipment efficiency.

Water & Wastewater Treatment Process optimisation.

Water Services By Law:

House designs: Rain water harvesting

Township layout designs: Strom water mitigation
