Kasrils: Water Affairs & Forestry Dept Budget Vote 2002/2003, NA
Already, more than 26 million people, 66% of the total served by water supply infrastructure, live in areas where free basic water is provided. The National Water Resource Strategy is South Africa's "blueprint for survival" a term coined by Edward Goldsmith, a pioneer of sustainable development. Due to the favourable storage levels in Katse Dam, the one-year delay on delivery from Phase 1B will not have any effect on the water supply from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project to South Africa.
