But, moving alongside our vision are the principle values of the commitment, willingness to sacrifice and prolonged dedication to achieve our vision. As we look back and reflect on the diligence, hard work and commitment, it is with humble pride and recognition that applaud is well deserved for my predecessor’s Third Generation Final 2016-17 IDP Review. The third generation IDP has been filled with a great number of achievements. Some of these include: 2012/13 • Eden DM received an Unqualified Audit from the Auditor-General • Blue Flag Status (Wilderness, Brenton-on-Sea and Buffalo Bay) • San Parks Kudu Award (Vernon Gibbs-Hall, Environmental Control Officer) • Short-listed for Gender Summit Awards • Toughest Fire Fighter Alive Competition - Emile Conrad receives Gold for open division • Toughest Fire Fighter Alive Competition - 4 Silver Medals 3 Eden District Municipality Draft 2017/18 – 2021/22 Integrated Development Plan 2013/14 • Eden DM received its first Clean Audit from the Auditor-General (13/14 AR) • Greenest District Municipality (19 November 2013) • Best Golf Destination of the Year: Africa and the Gulf States • Toughest Fire Fighter Alive - Emile Conrad 2014/15 • Eden DM received a Clean Audit from the Auditor-General (14/15 AR) • Greenest District Municipality (3 November 2014) • Air Quality • Water Conservation • Waste Management • Biodiversity • Climate Change • Coastal Management • Men's Toughest Fire Fighter Award- Emile Conrad • Women's Toughest Fire Fighter Award • Teams Relay Division - Toughest Fire Fighter Award • Alfred Nzo Award – Dr Johan Schoemann 2015/16 • Eden DM received a Clean Audit from the Auditor-General (15/16 AR) • Eden DM wins the Greenest District Municipality Award (02 November 2015 • Waste Management • Water Management & Conservation • Climate Change Response • Biodiversity & Coastal Management • Air Quality Management • Leadership & Compliance 2016/17 • 2016 Greenest District Municipality Award (21 October 2016) • Waste Management; • Water Management & Conservation; 4 Eden District Municipality Draft 2017/18 – 2021/22 Integrated Development Plan • Climate Change Response; • Coastal Management • Air Quality Management • Eden DM's Emile Conrad won the Men's Toughest Fire Fighter Alive Competition • Eden DM's Relay Team won the Relay Team Division With the advent of the fourth generation IDP, changing circumstances and challenges within the political, social, economic, environmental and technological environment of society has motivated us to become more vigilant and innovative in the exercise of fiscal discipline and allocative efficiency thereby prioritising a sustainable and responsive budget which seeks to favour growth and effect major improvements in the lives of citizens. In his 2017 State of the Nation Address, our president Jacob Zuma reaffirmed commitment to the nine-point plan which seeks to promote integrated planning and ignite economic growth and job creation. These include: 1. Resolving the energy challenge 2. Revitalizing agriculture and the agro-processing value chain 3. Advancing beneficiation or adding value to our mineral wealth 4. More effective implementation of a higher impact Industrial Policy Action Plan 5. Encouraging private sector investment 6. Moderating workplace conflict 7. Unlocking the potential of SMMEs, cooperatives, township and rural enterprises 8. State reform and boosting the role of state owned companies, ICT infrastructure or broadband roll out, water, sanitation and transport infrastructure 9. Operation Phakisa aimed at growing the ocean economy and other sectors Premier Helen Zille, in her 2017 State of the Province Address acknowledges three essential elements for sustained progress and wellbeing in a democracy, ‘The rule of law, accountability, and the moral imperative of a capable state.’ The 2017 SOPA focused on the state of the Western Cape economy and the potential for growth; the risk of fire and drought on the agricultural economy; Project Khulisa which details future planning in the tourism, oil and gas industry; agri-processing; the allocation of water rights to emerging farmers; the creation of an enabling environment for trade and investment and emerging business support; the prominance of the Saldahna IDZ; and the undermentioned listed collective catalytic game changers which include: 5 Eden District Municipality Draft 2017/18 – 2021/22 Integrated Development Plan • Achieving energy security; • Expanding vocational skills and training in the Province; • Delivering High Speed Broadband across the Province; • Rolling out e-Learning at schools; • Expanding After School activities; • Tackling Alcohol Abuse and • Pioneering a major ‘live-and-work’ development that integrates communities This Provincial focus affirms the Western Cape Government’s (WCG) alignment to the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030 and commits to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Without effective internal and external collaboration and cooperation amongst all our partners in development, the achievement of our district’s aspirations will remain a challenge. The concept of Integrated Development Planning, in turn, compels municipalities to work together, in great team spirit, with our national, provincial and local counterparts. It is for this reason that the Eden District Municipality, through the principle of good governance, aims to align its planning and programmes, through the utilisation of Inter-governmental Relations platforms in order to opt for the deliberation and identification of the best possible alternatives to coordinate, facilitate and ultimately move service delivery to an advanced implementation phase. The fourth generation Integrated Development Plan 2017/18 – 2021/22 will see us taken forward together to the 2019 national government elections, with the policy shift imperative of a citizen’s voice approach and collaborative partnering remaining key to addressing the triple challenge facing our communities. The Eden District Municipality must still retreat from silo planning and continue to follow a holistic and all inclusive approach to planning and development. The 2017/18 – 2021/22 strategic policy shift entails: • Good governance and beyond: A developmental agenda • From District to Regional planning and development • A citizen’s voice approach to collaborative partnering • Introducing innovative leadership capabilities • Exploring sustainable funding models • Catalytic project and joint planning initiatives unveiled 6 Eden District Municipality Draft 2017/18 – 2021/22 Integrated Development Plan • Urban-rural interconnectivity enhanced • Walking the Constitution through good governance administration and accountability • Support the ideals of prescribed in all-of-government policy directives • Educate, train, develop and create more opportunities for our unemployed youth • Commence with the construction of our Regional Landfill facility and the enabling of the road-to-rail JPI • Excel in our Agri-processing initiative, capitalise on tourism and fast track the LED implementation imperative • Promote adherence to the principles of good governance through a maintained clean audit outcome and cascading of individual performance over a period of five years • Effective property investment promotion and marketing and safeguarding our financial sustainability • Enhancement of our IGR, Joint Planning Initiatives through effective and collaborative partnering • Strengthening of our organisational structure to give effect to the 2017/2018 - 2021/2022 five year IDP implementation • Response to climate change, environmental sustainability, water security provisioning and growing the rural economy • Expand on and diversify on fire-fighting mandate • IPTS implementation It is with great honour that we can authenticate that as a district municipality, we already made a number of remarkable inroads. The service delivery process, however, is a continuous process. It is my plea that we as both the inhabitants and servants of the inhabitants of our beautiful and scenic region continue to improve our planning process and institutionalise the IDP process in order to achieve the desires of the people of our district, our province and our country. As the Mayor of the Eden District Municipality, I hereby wish to present to you with the draft 2017/2018 – 2021/22 Fourth Generation

  • 7. Water Quality
    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.
