Sustainability and sound design implementation are critical to a successful water project. Communities need to be involved in the beginning of the project lifecycle to ensure the financial stability of water systems as a pivotal part of capacity-building and obtaining investment to ensure things run smoothly. Local needs assessment: It is important to engage the community in the identification of challenges and the type of solutions that can solve it. Identify experienced pro

The realities of water services in Africa, and into the future, include lack of skills, aging water and wastewater infrastructure, rising water costs and increased public health concerns. Provincial and local investment in water and wastewater infrastructure has long been lagging the capacities needed to meet the rapidly increasing demand and making water systems resilient to stressors, such as drought, floods and pandemics. The challenge facing the water sector is like the o

Municipalities, communities and businesses are undergoing rapid digital transformation on all spheres. As the decentralisation of communities increase and the centralisation of data expands, organisations experience growing pains around adapting to the changing paradigm. Ensuring you have the most efficient infrastructure and processes in place, is no drop in the bucket and many provincial departments are lacking the necessary resources to manage this great act effectively an

Digital transformation will become critical to many organisations in Southern Africa. Introducing specialised technological enhancements into an organisation or community represents a different set of challenges, especially when dealing with aging and failing infrastructure. In the technology space, a “total solution” is one that encompasses a broad range of advanced technology and services in one packaged concept, that is designed to meet specific parameters and provides one

Around 70% of the world's extreme poor live in rural areas and when compared to urban water supply, rural areas present a different set of operational threats. Poor performance of conventional water treatment plants and water supply systems in rural areas can be attributed to substandard maintenance and planning. The maintenance bill problems are related to the complexities of the centralisation and management of such essential systems. Local community members are not equippe

The buzz word “green” cities can be seen all over the world. While there is no standard accepted term defining what makes a city green - most ranking systems include environmental impact per person, renewable energy generation, range of people using public transport, green spaces, and recycling programs. While Africa has the chance to implement technologies and solutions into their energy and water mix that have a major impact on the overall sustainability of the cities they
