Running Rivers for Thriving and Resilient Communities
KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaThe second most populated province in South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal is a water-scarce region. It faces serious challenges such as poor management of river catchment and waste pollution from informal human settlements alongside river systems. The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) saw the need to invest in managing rivers to improve water security and the adaptive capacity of communities to the shocks of natural disasters, primarily floods and droughts. In 2021, EDTEA implemented the first phase of the Transformative Riverine Management Programme (TRMP), an initiative that improves water management and has a socio-economic impact at the same time.
