In this issue of Water, we highlight just why the water crisis in SA is far more extreme than the electricity crisis.

Our experts share the challenges and offer solutions to issues pertaining to water treatment and delivery, and we profile the V&A Waterfront’s solution to reducing its dependency on the electricity and water grid.

We also examine why SA needs to improve its water productivity and urgently reduce the nonbeneficial use of water, particularly in the irrigated agriculture and forestry sectors.
