GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - The Garden Route District Municipality held a workshop on Tuesday 7 March to discuss strategies for achieving a water-secure future.

Representatives from various sectors participated in deliberations around key water-related challenges and sustainable solutions.

A proposal to designate the Garden Route District Municipality as a water services authority for bulk water and sanitation infrastructure was also on the agenda. 

According to Garden Route Municipal Manager Monde Stratu, this will enable better co-ordination and implementation of strategies to improve water security.

Stratu said the region is facing significant water challenges due to climate change, population growth and economic development. 

"Achieving water security is critical for sustainable development. Together we can build a resilient and sustainable future for the Garden Route."
