This document is a draft written reply from the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs to a question posed by Mr M W Makhubela in the National Council of Provinces regarding strategies for water-sensitive urban design.

• The Department of Water and Environmental Affairs does not possess a specific strategy dedicated to promoting water-quality-wise urban design or storm water attenuation.
• The Department asserts that executive authority for municipal planning rests with local government, and that specifications for water-wise development should be integrated into Water Services Development Plans and the Integrated Development Planning (IDP) process at the municipal level.
• The Department manages urban storm water from a regulatory standpoint through the water use authorisation process, such as licensing for sewage works, and is responsible for ensuring local government implements water use efficiency measures to manage demand and prevent waste.
• The town of Atlantis in the Western Cape is cited as an instance where the Department supported local government by completing storm water designs before finalizing urban layout plans to improve the town's water supply.
