Vision (first page of Annual Report)
�An environmentally responsible approach is imperative for sustainable socio-economic development. We urgently need to protect the water we drink and use, the air we breathe, the soil on which our crops and plants grow, because environmental degradation severely impacts all sectors of society. Our country is already experiencing the brunt of water scarcity and as the water crisis intensifies, it will affect food production, sanitation, health and hygiene, and may cause widespread unrest.
Although water is perhaps the resource that is most under pressure, increasing population, industrialisation, pollution and global warming will impact not only water but all aspects of the environment. What is needed is integrated environment management encompassing water, liquid and solid waste, air, soil and energy. All these must be managed holistically, with collaborative synergy between government, industry, and all sections of society.�
