This goal led to the development of the Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF), which identifies the areas of growth in the province and the areas where, in terms of the sustainable development paradigm, growth should be emphasised in the future. It also addresses the form that this growth or development should take and further emphasises the restructuring of urban settlements to facilitate their sustainability. To provide guidance and support for implementing the PSDF, a thorough understanding and knowledge of the characteristics and performances of all the settlements in the province is needed. The aim of this study was to revise and update the Growth Potential Study of Towns in the Western Cape (Van der Merwe et al.

  • 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.

    EDEN DROUGHT STATUS QUO A DISASTER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE 8 MARCH 2018 BACKGROUND • The Garden Route is prone to natural disasters (floods, fires, drought) this is exacerbated by the imminent threat of climate change that is expected to raise temperatures and reduce rainfall; • The main factors that exacerbate the effects of the disasters include both environmental as well as man-made challenges; • To protect the environment and to respond to potential disasters, some mitigation measures are already in place at local municipal level and on district level a draft Eden Climate Change Adaptation Plan has been compiled and a dedicated Disaster Management Centre, based in George, has been established; • However, a broader approach is required to accelerate the movement to become “the greenest district in Africa” as well as to ensure water security at all local towns in the district; • Water security is a substantial challenge: Many towns in the district only have limited bulk water storage capacity; Alien invasive trees consume up to 5 billion liters of water annually across Eden, and Due to damaged wetlands the natural ability of this “natural barrier” to regulate and filter water is inhibited; LINES OF COMMUNICATION NDMC→PDMC→MDMC NATIONAL CENTRE PROVINCIAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRE 6 REGIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRES DM DM CITY OF DM DM DM CAPE OVERBERG BOLAND EDEN CENTRAL WEST TOWN KAROO COAST PROVINCIAL - SANDF DEPARTMENTS - SAPS - AND OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS - NGO’S 24 LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES - PARASTATALS (ESCOM/SPOORNET/ACSA, ETC)
