  1. Catchment Management Strategy- Who foots the Bill? Public View Dieks Theron - BSc Hons Metall, BTh Key Structure Holdings (Pty) Ltd

  2. Outline of Presentation • Introduction • Two types of cost: Fixed/ Variable • DWAF predominantly pays fixed cost • Users pay variable cost: • Basic users (50 lcd) • Individual consumers • Mining and Industry- point polluters • Agriculture- diffuse polluter Sustainable Agriculture empowers the poor

  3. INTRODUCTION • Background of presenter • Personal touch • Slight twist!

  4. Types of Cost: Ct=Cf+Cv • Fixed cost: used to develop CMS- to be born mainly by first tier- DWAF • Variable cost:used to run CMA: Monitor-ing,sampling, training- passed on by 2nd and 3rd tier to users

  5. Users who pay variable cost? • Low volume 50 lcd users (95% in number)- should get free water (incl CMA) • Individual consumers 50 -200+ lcd- pay on sliding scale • Mining and Industry: large consumption, heavy point pollution- should be severely penalised for o/o/s discharges • Agriculture: by far largest users and diffuse polluters- should pay much more

  6. Emerging Farmers- Develop & Empower • Teach “bad habits” of commercial agriculture?- Unaffordable! • Sustainable farming practices- not just an “Agricultural” issue • Our water resource is at stake • Get successful sustainable farmers to teach emerging farmenrs

  7. Conclusion • Who pays for CMA/CMS? • Ultimately users pay (taxes, levies, direct charges based on volume) • Unless CMA’s promote sustainable development- our kids and their kids will pay severely!
