Emanti at World Water Week

Grant Mackintosh from Emanti attended World Water Week held from 5 – 11 September 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden. This year, the annual event drew 2,600 participants from 130 countries. The theme for this year’s event was “The Water Quality Challenge – Prevention, Wise Use and Abatement”, with the intention of the event to deepen the understanding of, stimulate ideas on, and engage the water community around the challenges related to water quality. Grant assisted the DWA delegation through the week, and in particular, facilitated discussions regarding DWA’s Strategic Self-Assessment by Municipalities of the status of water services, including how the information is used by the water sector in South Africa, and how it will be modified to further benefit local, provincial and national government initiatives.
