South Africa: Wastewater - the Untapped Resource

Wastewater can and must be used to augment water sources, says Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane.

"The issue of 'Wastewater: The Untapped Resource', as adopted by the United Nations is a clarion call to say let us not waste.

"The realisation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-6 is a must do for all member states," Minister Mokonyane said at the closing of the week-long World Water Week held in Stockholm, on Friday.

She said billions of people across the world are still without basic access to clean water and sanitation services.
