Two distinctive features of the South African water sector are- The policy of free basic water and the existence of water boards- bulk water supply agencies that operate pipelines and sell water from reservoirs to municipalities. In May 2014 it was announced that Durban’s Water and Sanitation Department won the Stockholm Industry Water Award “for its transformative and inclusive approach”, calling it “one of the most progressive utilities in the world ”. The city has connected 1.3 million additional people to piped water and provided 700,000 with access to toilets in 14 years. It also was South Africa’s first municipality to put free basic water for the poor into practice.

Water availability in South Africa varies greatly in space and time. While the West is dry with rainfall only during the summer and as low as 100mm, the East and South-east receive rainfall throughout the year with an average of up to 1,000 mm.

Groundwater is limited due to geologic conditions, but also is extensively utilized in the rural & more arid areas.
