5. DAM SAFETY REHABILITATION PROGRAMME (DSRP)

• 359 dams on the asset register (218 listed in the
  ICOLD world register of large dams)
• Rehabilitation work on 22 dams complete
• 36 dams in various stages feasibility study,
  detailed design or construction

• Insufficient spillway capacity 80
• Slope stability problems 10
• Inadequate maintenance eventually resulting in
  dam safety problems 60
• Geological/foundation problems 10
• Inadequate outlet systems 80

6. Strategy on Access to Water for Basic use from
Dams

21
Introduction

• Communities in rural areas that live in close
  proximity to water sources and networks have been
  identified throughout South Africa that do not as
  yet have access to sufficient and safe water to
  fulfill their basic needs.
• This issue is of serious concern for DWA who has
  decided that urgent action be taken in order to
  ensure that the basic constitutional rights of
  these communities are fulfilled.
• This project is aimed at supporting the DWA to
  identify communities that live in close proximity
  to DWA dams that do not as yet have access to
  water for basic domestic use.
• It is envisaged that the final output of this
  project will be a report identifying these
  communities without access to basic water for
  domestic use and providing potential solutions to
  the identified service delivery problem.

21
22
Scope of Work Envisaged by DWA

• Conduct a survey of communities in close
  proximity to the dams as by DWA in the list below
  in order to ascertain which communities do not
  have access to a basic domestic water supply
• Assess what water is available from these dams.
• Determine impact of allocating some of the
  water from the relevant dam to communities
  without a basic domestic water supply. The
  National Water Act states that the provision of
  water for basic human needs is a priority issue.
• Determine the level of service to be provided.

22
23
Scope of Work Envisaged by DWA

• Ascertain existing infrastructure in the area.
• Determine the possible infrastructure
  requirements to supply potable water to the
  community.
• Determine the estimated capital and operational
  costs of this supply.
• Determine the estimated timeframe required to
  supply the infrastructure.

Overview of Approach Followed

26
Approach

• Phase 1 Determine Location of Dams and
  Communities
• Phase 2 Consultations with Relevant WSAs
• Phase 3 Identify Possible Infrastructure
  Solutions
• Phase 4 Financial and Time Implications for
  Proposed Infrastructure per Dam
• Phase 5 Institutional Issues

27
General Comments

• Currently the provinces that are focused on is
• Limpopo
• North West
• Eastern Cape
• The full amount of funding indicated to conclude
  all activities was not available from inception
• Therefore the aim is to conclude the full life
  cycle for them before commencing with the other
  regions to estimate what funding is remaining.
• A time delay could occur if the All Town Study
  information is delayed due to some of the areas
  not yet concluded.

Regional Bulk Infrastructure
29
1- Overview Strategic purpose

• Is to develop an oversight and support function
  that will ensure the development and operational
  and maintenance of regional bulk infrastructure
  in the water sector.

29
30
Objectives of Programme

• Identify all regional bulk project requirements,
  through appropriate integrated planning
  processes.
• Assist with the funding and implementation of
  regional bulk infrastructure projects through
  RBIG.
• Facilitate the development of institutional
  arrangements and capacity to ensure the
  implementation and effective operations and
  maintenance of regional bulk infrastructure.

30
31
2 Progress to date

• 109 projects were started since 07/08 financial
  year.
• 50 implementation projects have been initiated
  and are in construction, design or tender phase
  of which 36 are in construction and 14 are in
  design / tender phase
• 42 feasibility / implementation ready studies are
  ongoing.
• 17 projects have been completed.

4 Alignment / Transparency

• CoGTA requires DWA to align RBIG with needs and
  all water related projects
• Dep. of Human settlement is blaming other
  departments responsible for bulk of been
  responsible for constraints to service delivery
• Cape Time Nov 25 th 2010, p6
• Problems with the provision of bulk
  infrastructure are stifling housing delivery
  across the country, says Human settlements
  Minister, Tokyo Sexwale.. Thus the need for a
  more integrated, planned and coordinated approach
  across various departments

40
41
Alignment

• Projects are motivated by WSA, therefore how can
  there be misalignment ?
• The problem is that due to limited funds, RBIG
• Has not initiated any new projects in the last 2
  yrs
• (policy is to complete existing projects before
  new ones are initiated)
• A significant gap exists between bulk
  infrastructure needs and budget available.

41
42
Alignment with other programmes

• The following alignment between RBIG and MIG are
  required and therefore proposed
• Scope of projects by each programme
• Overlapping budgets and co-funding
• Criteria / conditions for project approval
• Integration of planning needs
• Monitoring and evaluation procedures of project
  implementation

42
43
Successes

1. The programme was expanded from a 3 year term to
   a long term programme
2. The programme has expanded from R 300 million /
   annum in 2007/08 to R 2 418 million / annum in
   2013/14
3. A consolidated list of all bulk needs / projects
   has been developed and is been updated through 9
   Regional bulk Master plans.
4. New innovative projects implemented (i.e
   desalination and Waste Water recycling)
5. Significant amount of new jobs created (6017
   jobs).
6. Inter governmental co-operation (particularly
   WC, FS)

New project management priorities

• DWA to take greater/direct control for
  implementing new RBIG projects in weak WSA
  utilising
• Project management capacity from DWA
• Utilising the capacity of Water Boards
• Utilising DWA construction
• Private service providers (i.e BoTT)
• Identify new institutional arrangements and
  models
• Focus on sustainability of projects and O M
• Ensure conditions of IRS are followed through
• Focus on improving agreements with WSA and DWA

46
47
Conclusion

• Most RBIG projects are large projects that
  require, appropriate water sector expertise for
  planning and implementation, they should not be
  entrusted to officials and institutions with
  limited expertise and capacity
• Although expenditure is slow , most funds will be
  utilised by the end of the financial year
• RBIG has been successful but not without
  problems
