This study estimates Rand Water's water demand in South Africa for 2000 to 2020. It indicates lower growth in water consumption in the foreseeable future than in the past century. The reduced growth is due to: Economic slowdown (international and South African); Lower standard of living/...
Efficiency and equity considerations in modeling inter-sectoral water demand in South Africa Empirical studies have shown that while global per capita freshwater availability is declining, competition among production sectors for the withdrawal of this resource is rapidly increasing. This situation is exacer...
South Africa is a water-scarce country and based on current usage and trends, the demand for water by 2025 is estimated to exceed the availability due to increasing demands from a variety of competing users for the available water resources (DWS, 2017). Urbanization and industrialization are exp...

Precipitation-based assessments show a lengthening of tropical dry seasons under climate change, without considering simultaneous changes in ecosystem water demand. Here, we compare changes in tropical dry season length and timing when dry season is defi
South Africa is a water-scarce country whose cities are full of swimming pools and lush gardens. Inequity and a lack of fairness and justice pervades water distribution. It is time to make some longer term, strategic choices about equity in urban water demand and about the allocation of water...
Mnisi is of the view that water scarcity in South Africa is, to a large extent, attributable to physical causes, exacerbated by the impact of global climate change, climate variability and increasing demand on available water resources.

Irrigated agriculture in South Asia depends on meltwater, monsoon rains and groundwater. Climate change alters the hydrology and causes shifts in the timing, composition and magnitude of these sources of water supply. Simultaneously, socio-economic growth increases water demand. Here we use a high-...
