South Africa is aiming to ensure clean water and sanitation for all by 2030, and SRK is working with key role players to find the most meaningful ways of measuring our progress.
In a paper at the recent Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) conference, SRK water experts described the project being conducted for the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), through the Water Research Commission (WRC).
The context for this work is the country’s commitment to meeting the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, according to SRK principal hydrologist Dr Simon Lorentz.
“This includes eight targets under SDG 6, which focuses on clean water and sanitation,” said Lorentz. “SRK is engaged in reviewing and developing methodologies for monitoring and assessing the country’s progress related to three of these eight targets.”
There is also an over-arching task to review various SDG standards and documentation, where SRK is also involved.
