Water infrastructure and technology needs urgent investment by the government to ensure the resource is being stored and used efficiently, says Amnesty International SA.

“SA’s water scarcity continues to be exacerbated by a lack of investment in infrastructure or technology, and the climate crisis, yet the government is doing very little to mitigate the consequences this will have for everyone living in the country,” Amnesty SA's executive director Shenilla Mohamed said.

Forecasts that the effects of climate change will mean SA may experience a reduction of 10% in average rainfall, thereby reducing surface water runoff up to 50-75% by 2025.
