Chapter 2: Methodology
CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGY Rietfontein pump station near Kriel Water is pumped from the Rietfontein pump station towards Matla power station for use in power generation. DSM strategy for national water pumping systems 18 Chapter 2: Methodology NWU Potchefstroom 2 Overview of a Water Distribution Scheme 2.1 Preamble In this chapter the potential for a sustainable DSM project on the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) water distribution schemes will be investigated. The reader will thus be familiarised with the problems encountered by the implementation of such a project. The Usutu-Vaal water scheme, which serves to deliver water to those locations with the demand thereof, will serve as the case study for the investigation. The water pumping system and storage facilities will be simulated to determine if savings are feasible and whether these savings will be sustainable. This simulation will take into account the different factors associated with the water scheme, such as water supply to power stations etc. 2.2 Typical water distribution system 2.2.1 South Africa’s water demand problem South Africa is a relatively dry country with an annual average rainfall of only 464mm, which is almost half of the world average of about 860mm per year [35]. South Africa thus, due to its large population, has less water per person than other neighbouring countries, which are considered to be much drier [36]. Figure 13 illustrates that South Africa has merely a small area along the eastern coastline which receives a mean annual rainfall of more than 800mm. The rest of the country is considered to be arid and semi-arid. -
