  10. Approach to quality management Cannot manage at point of delivery • Need to manage from Catchment to point of delivery • Use one set of criteria SANS 241 (2005) because: • Based on international (WHO)standards • Reputable and well researched • Excellent point of departure • Useful in respect of entire water cycle • Most critical user is man • Valuable in respect of holistic management of water quality including source waters

(Must meet SANS 241 Class 1 health related variables) (Acceptable) This tier represents water with increasing risk to health. Yellow implies caution and catchments should be managed towards lower level of range. = SANS Class 2 . (Tolerable to unacceptable) This tier represents water that is not save for human consumption.
