Water User Associations
WUAs
• Can be created on an initiative of an interested party.
• Can also be created on the Minister's prerogative, when he/she sees the need for such creation, e.g:
• Local control of a government water scheme • Support of emerging farmers • Promote co-ordinated development of a resource
• A proposal for the creation of a WUA is prepared and submitted to the Regional Offices for compliancy assessment
• A WUA is created after extensive and all-inclusive Public Participation has taken place.
Catchment Mgmt Forums
Catchment Forums are a formal non-statutory mechanism to facilitate participation of stakeholders with diverse interests
Their strength is based on the stakeholders they represent rather than statutory powers Support functions once the CMA has been established: To promote integrated planning and cooperation between various stakeholders and role-players To support the operations of the CMA by performing activities and implementing projects
Establishment Of CMAs
The National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS) 2004 • 19 Catchment Management Agencies (CMA) per Water
Management Areas (WMA). eight CMAs were established, two were functional: the Inkomati and Breede-
Overberg. • 6 CMAs were gazetted however, no Governing Boards
were appointed. The process of establishing CMAs was put on hold in 2007
• Appropriate number of institutions was investigated through the “Institutional Reform and Realignment” (IRR) Project.
WMAs AND CMAs
• The IRR made the following recommendations: • 9 WMAs to be overseen by 9 corresponding CMAs. This is ito the decentralisation
of WRM which is a core component of the NWRS-2.
• The WMAs were reduced to enable integrated planning and for socio-economic reasons.
• The foreseen advantages of the amalgamation of WMAs include:
Improved management of integrated systems which were previously split across WMAs.
Support to a consolidated approach to international and counterparts in international basins.
The enabling of more technically-capacitated areas to be linked to less-resourced capacitated areas.
An improved balance in institutional revenue streams and economies of scale.
