Abstract
The question addressed in this paper is whether the current implementation of the White Paper on a National Water Policy for South Africa (DWAF, 1997b) and the National Water Act (NWA) (DWAF, 1998) is achieving the desired objectives of water resources management (WRM), or whether a substantial rethink is needed in terms of managing water resources effectively.
