Eden Drought Status Quo Disaster Management Perspective 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) AREA OF THE BGCMA Eden District 4 WATER INFRASTRUCTURE: GOURITZ 5 EDEN PRIORITY RISKS 201 4 RISK ASSESSMENT Priority Hazards identified Additional hazards identified 2005 2013 Drought Seismic hazards HAZMAT: Road, Rail Petro -Chemical Fire Hazards Fire Alien Plant Invasion Floods Predator Animals Slope Failures Structural Integrity Old Gouritz Bridge Road Accidents Storm Surges Animal diseases Coastal Erosion (Sea Level Rise) Dam Shedding Service Disruptions Human diseases Social Disruptions Table 1: EDM 2005 and 2014 identified hazards OUTENIQUA COAST WATER SITUATION STRATEGY • The Outeniqua Coast Water Situation Strategy Study was initiated in 2005 and completed in March 2008 ; • The hydrology for the area was updated and the ecological reserve requirements was taken into consideration; • Water reconciliation strategies were developed for each of the major towns, i.e. Mossel Bay, George and Knysna • Alternate sources of future water supply were proposed with the following targets: Re-use of treated waste water (50%), Groundwater (20%) , Desalination (20%) To bring unaccounted for water (losses) down to less than 20% Year Bitou DMA George Hessequa Kannaland Knysna Mossel Bay Oudtshoorn Eden DM 2001 30 057 14 116 135 409 44 224 22 821 52 027 71 494 80 854 451 002 2002 31 346 14 470 138 845 45 162 32 478 52 785 74 364 82 230 462 680 2003 32 635 14 824 142 281 46 101 24 134 53 543 77 234 83 606 474 358 2004 33 925 15 177 145718 47 039 24 791 54 301 80 103 84 981 486 035 2005 35 214 15 531 149154 47 978 25 447 55 059 82 973 86 357 497 713 2006 36 503 15 885 152590 48 916 26 104 55 817 85 843 87 733 509 391 2007 37 877 16 055 155046 49 545 26 404 56 248 88 132 87 918 517 225 2008 39 252 16 225 157502 50 175 26 705 56 679 90 422 88 102 525 060 2009 40 626 16 395 159 957 50 804 27 005 57 110 92 711 88 287 532 894 2010 42 000 178 978 51 433 27 305 57 541 95 000 88 471 540 728 2011 43 374 187 665 52 062 27 605 57 972 98 000 88 656 555 335 2012 44 749 196 353 52 692 27 906 58 403 101 000 88 840 569 941 2013 46 123 205 040 53 321 28 206 58 834 104 000 89 042 584 548 2014 47 497 213 728 53 950 28 506 59 265 107 000 89 209 599 155 2015 48 871 222 415 54 579 28 806 59 696 110 000 89 394 613 761 2016 50 043 227 752 55 888 29 497 61 128 112 640 91 539 628 491 2017 51 244 233 219 57 230 30 205 62 595 115 343 93 736 643 572 2018 52 473 238 816 58 603 30 930 64 098 118 111 95 986 659 017 Eden District Municipality • +27(0)44 803 1300 • www.edendm.gov.za • www.fb.com/edendistrictmunicipality GEORGE RAINFALL 1950 - 2009 • Trend of annual rainfall shows a decline from 900 mm per annum in 1900 to an average of 630 by 2009 ; • The extremes vary between 300 and 1200mm per annum over the last 30 years .

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.

It is one of the few indigenous South African plants that made the transition from the wild to a commercial product during the past 100 years. Research activities during the past 20 years included propagation, production, genetic improvement, processing, composition and the potential for value-adding.
