- Description: This book will help anyone working with water resources to make decisions about water quality, specifically environmental aspects of water quality. The book ex-plores the balance between water resource protection and water resource use, with a particular focus on water quality. A balance is necessary because the National Wa-ter Act (NWA) requires that water resources be protected and managed to meet the water quality requirements of ecosystems. At the same time the Act also requires that water be used for social and economic benefit.

- Description: The gender policy of the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF), formu-lated in 1997, was designed to promote gender equality both within DWAF itself and in its activities at community level. The policy required a quota of at least 30% (since increased to 50%) of women in all decision-making committees as well as adequate participation and technical training. How does the policy work out in the rural areas, far away from DWAF head office in Pretoria? The Water Research Commission (WRC) conducted a research study in the Peddie area to find out. Fort Hare lecturer Priscilla Monyai looked at four villages close to the town of Peddie in the densely populated former Ciskei, between Grahamstown and King Williams Town. About 4 000 people live in the villages of Cisira, Ncala, Nqwenerana and Mgwangqa. All get their water from the Peddie water supply scheme which began supplying clean drinking water in 1999.
