    Quantifying the potential for potable water savings in the Liesbeek River catchment
    (2014) Coulson, Daniel; Armitage, Neil
    The security of South Africa’s water resources has been identified as a major issue affecting the country’s potential for socio-economic expansion. With the realisation that current water management interventions require significant improvement, there has been growing interest in finding more effective approaches to water management. This dissertation aims to quantify the potential potable water savings that could be achieved through the implementation of selected sustainable water management interventions in the Liesbeek River catchment, Cape Town. The current water use model was constructed in the form of a water balance, using data collected from the catchment.
