A Framework For Sustainable Water Supply Needs: A Case Study Of South Africa

Abstract

Sustainable water supply is a problem in many parts of the world. Central to the problem is the lack of adequate water supply which has engulfed the sub-Saharan Africa region. In South Africa, similar negative effects show deficiencies in meeting water supply needs in a sustainable manner. The deficiencies are linked to the estimated 5.3 million households with limited access to water, making the situation deeply concerning because this figure is above the estimated global average rate of 3.7 million people per country. If these challenges are not overcome, one possible impact is a diminished water supply that may lead to a lack of clean drinking water, degeneration of human health and environmental standards, as well as excessive disruption to economic activities.
