The guide to The National Water Act was published by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry South Africa. The guide aims to aid understanding of the National Water Act, through describing its purpose and principles in user-friendly language, so that all users of water resources can understand and participate in the act.
The guide outlines the measures in the National Water Act to protect water usage and control water use. It describes itself as most useful for water users, anyone who wants to know more about water management, and anyone who wants to get involved in water management.
While it does not cover every item in the Act, it provides an overall guide, and explains how the Act ensures its objectives are achieved.
