The MoU between the Water Research Commission (WRC) and the University of Mpumalanga was indeed a critical milestone for the water sector in Mpumalanga. As a Catchment Management Agency, the Inkomati-Usuthu CMA (IUCMA), stands to benefit from this collaboration in many ways. Water quality in the Catchment is impacted greatly by various activities including Wastewater Treatment Works, mining activities, agricultural operations amongst many. Water availability on the other hand is also facing various challenges including over abstraction, unauthorised use and climate change impacts that result in the drying of rivers and that of dams. We are faced with too little, too much and too polluted! Solid waste dumping into our rivers is becoming a serious threat to the resource. The issue of illegal sand mining adds another strain to the already impacted resource.
