dc.description.abstractThe aim of this dissertation is to is to provide an environmental overview of the water sector in the study area of the Erongo region. Water is a very scarce resource in the study area and has been singled out to be the greatest obstacle to the development of the study area. As such, this study was developed to assist the identification of the various critical issues affecting the water sector. This study was agreed upon by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Namibia with the help of funding from DANCED. The study is the follow up of an environmental baseline report on the Erongo region in Namibia. The baseline report was commisioned to gather data on the region which would assist the creation of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan. This baseline report was undertaken by the whole MPhil class as a group exercise. Individual dissertations were then carried out by the members of the Mphil class. The students had to choose topics that were relevant to the study area. This study is one of these dissertations. The study was guided by the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management and the need to be of use in the planning process for water resource utilisation in the study area. To achieve this, the Integrated Environment Management theory is used together with the principles of Integrated Water Resource Management. This will ensure that the study * Uses a broad definition of the environment so as to identify all key opportunities and constraints of the water sector. * Would help towards the creation of a plan to manage the water sector in order to optimise the benefits of the sector while at the same time minimising or mitigating the financial, environmental and social costs. The study aims to identify the critical environmental impacts of the water sector in the study area. These impacts are then assessed but not evaluated.en_ZA
