“Water Quality Challenges that Decision-Makers Need to Know Aboutn and How the CSIR should respond” by Dr. Anthony Turton.
The 50/50 t.v. environmental programme alerted South Africans to the fact that the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) had prevented the group leader of its Water Resource Governance Systems, Dr. Anthony Turton, from delivering his keynote address on water management. The CSIR issued a media release to the effect that his written paper had been circulated in the weeks before the conference and was available in their repository of published research, however he was prevented from delivering the presentation as it departed substantially from the written paper.
(see http://researchspace.csir.co.za/dspace/handle/10204/2620 ).
Dr. Turton’s report states bluntly that ‘South Africa simply has no more surplus water and all future economic development (and thus social wellbeing) will be constrained by this one fundamental fact that few have as yet grasped. An important implication of this fundamental fact is that South Africa has lost its dilution capacity, so all pollutants and effluent streams will increasingly need to be treated to ever higher standards before being discharged into communal waters or deposited in landfills.
