<div style='text-align: justify;'>The finalized WMA boundaries are a component of the NWRS which was gazetted on 16 August 2013, Gazette no. 36736,notice no.845
The water management areas are the areas whereby regional or catchment levels will be managed. The National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) requires the progressive development of a National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS), which provides a framework for the protection, use, development, conservation, management and control of water resources for the country as a whole. The new DWA landmass coastal boundary and the northern boundary of the 2011 released Demarcation Board Municipal boundaries were used to re-align this dataset to the DWA Standard RSA landmass boundary.</div> |
