3.2 Enhance water abstraction assessment and permit
 Make city development in accordance with
water available
3.3 Water Saving society
 National water saving plans
 Water use quota for major industries
 Pilots at national,
provincial and local
level

Responsibility and Accountability
 Take responsibility
 Make accountability
 Supervise with good responses
Connection with Water development goals of the
United Nations after 2015
 Integrated Water Resources Management
 Upgrade water use efficiency
 Improve water quality
 Restore Water ecosystem
 Water marketing
 Scale up reuse and recycling
Looking forward to corporation
Many Thanks
