Northern Water Forum
A WASPAR project outcome
Enabling free exchange of ideas, knowledge, opinions, hopes and aspirations among all relevant people for the future status of Water Resources in the Northern Province. Water Security is the chosen phrase here to indicate what we are working for. Water Security includes all things that need to be in place in order to ensure that a population has access at all times to adequate quantities of water of acceptable quality and safety, and enough water for the livelihood and development of that population as well as for preserving the ecosystems they depend on. Northern Water Forum does not exist now. It is the ambition of the WASPAR project that such a Dialogue Forum for the Northern Province will ‘emerge’ through the participatory processes and action orientation of WASPAR.
