Study Steering Committee

The primary function of the Study Steering Committee (SSC) was to provide guidance for the development of the Reconciliation Strategy for the Olifants River Water Supply System and to make sure that the various sectors in the study area are participating in its development.

The SSC was formed in May 2010. This Committee has representatives from all provincial government departments involved in water resources management, conservation organisations, agriculture, District and Local Municipalities in the study area, Water Boards and Water User Associations as well as the DWA National and Limpopo and Mpumalanga Regional Offices.

Strategy Steering Committee

The purpose and role of the Strategy Steering Committee will be to oversee the implementation of the water reconciliation strategy and to ensure that the strategy is kept up-to-date and relevant, always keeping the long-term time horizon.

The Strategy Steering Committee has not been established as yet, but its establishment will follow soon as the Study Steering Committee completed its work by overseeing the development of the reconciliation strategy. The Strategy Steering Committee will basically comprise the same group of people – it is the role that will change.
