Water 2026: New approach needed
South Africa’s water stress remains high, at 67%, driven by environmental pressures and failing infrastructure. The country’s escalating water outages are primarily the result of deteriorating infrastructure rather than an absolute lack of water. Nearly half of treated water is lost before reaching consumers owing largely to leaks, ageing pipelines, illegal connections and inadequate maintenance.<br><br>Creamer Media’s ‘Water 2026: New approach needed’ report examines these challenges, including nonrevenue water, declining water quality and widespread municipal failure. It considers the evolving regulatory and policy environment, and assesses investment in water infrastructure and major projects intended to strengthen water security. Further attention is given to the protection of critical infrastructure and the investment required to reverse deterioration, expand supply and improve the long-term outlook for South Africa’s water sector.
