• INTRODUCTION • OVERVIEW OF PAST ACHIEVEMENTS ¾ Water Source Development ¾ Bulk Infrastructure ¾ Reticulation ¾ Scheme Operations ¾ Capacity Building • DWA INSTITUTIONS IN WATER SERVICE PROVISION • OVERVIEW OF DWA’S PLANNED INTERVENTIONS • HIGH LEVEL CHALLENGES AND POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS • FOCUS FOR 09/10

2 INTRODUCTION

• The Limpopo Province covers an area of 123 910km2. • It has a total population of about 5.4 million people (2001) and it contributes approximately 6.5% pf the National GDP (2002). • It is a predominantly rural province with low population density. • It is faced with huge service delivery backlogs. • It also has a problem of unequal and ‘pocket” development with large disparities between its urban and rural sections: Gini Coefficient = • 0.60 (1998) and 0.63 (2003) i.e. inequality increased. • Human Development Index (HDI) = 0.46 (1998) and 0.49 (2003) i.e. development increased • Characterized by insufficient bulk infrastructure, thus impacting on the eradication of the water services backlog. • The province is faced with a sanitation backlog of 600 000 hh • The water backlog stands at 55 000 hh

16 ACHIEVEMENTS: Source Development - Summary • Since 1994 R4.7billion has been spent on new dams/weirs to store additional water • Dams Completed ¾ Modjadji Dam (Mopani) ¾ Nondweni Weir (Mopani) ¾ Xikundu Weir (Vhembe) ¾ Nandoni Dam (Vhembe – also supplies Mopani & Capricorn) ¾ Flag Boshielo (Sekhukhune) – Raising of dam wall ¾ Mokolo Dam (Waterberg) – Raising of dam wall • New Dams Under Construction ¾ De Hoop (Greater Sekhukhune – also supplies Mogalakwena & Capricorn WSAs) • New Planned Dams ¾ Nwamitwa Dam (Mopani) ¾ Glen Alpine Dam (Capricorn) – Raising of Dam wall

17 ACHIEVEMENTS: Source Development – Groundwater • Limpopo Ground Water potential (Drainage Areas A and B) 940 million cubic metres (million m3) per year (equivalent to the annual design yield of Vaal Dam 941 million m3 per year)

• Current groundwater use is 462 million m3 per year (see next slide)

• Approx 9 000 boreholes drilled (4 500 since 1994). Estimated 5 000 still functioning

• Water quality problems – groundwater requires treatment

• Recharge of groundwater reliant on rainfall – therefore it requires good management to avoid depletion through over-pumping
