Environmental expert, Professor Khangwelo Musetsho has warned that the country’s inability to manage wastewater will have far-reaching consequences.
This after the Inwoners Baagi Civic Movement disputed the new Tshwane municipal authorities’ announcement that the Klipgat Wastewater Treatment Works is complete and fully functional The movement says the extent of non-compliance in the quality of discharge from wastewater treatment plants is very worrying.“The most immediate risk is to public health, because inadequate treatment and disposal of disposal of wastewater can lead to contamination of drinking water sources spreading diseases such as cholera, type hepatitis, as I’ve already indicated, including other gastrointestinal illnesses. Secondly, environmental damage itself.
Thirdly, economic consequences, social impacts as well which is quite important because communities suffering from poor wastewater management can experience a decrease in quality of life due to forward, smell and sanitary, dry conditions and health.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
