Watervoogdyskap: Só boer jy vooruit

The document outlines twelve practical steps for farmers to implement water stewardship, focusing on monitoring water use, adopting conservation agriculture, managing invasive plants, and protecting natural water infrastructure like wetlands and river buffers to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

• Farmers are encouraged to adopt water stewardship through monitoring water use with technology, implementing conservation agriculture to improve soil quality and prevent evaporation, and automating irrigation systems to eliminate leaks.
• The removal of invasive plants is critical for water security, as these plants consume 3% of available water resources nationwide—enough for over 3.4 million people—and over 6% in the Berg River and Breede River catchment areas and other fynbos-rich regions.
• Climate change is projected to significantly impact the Western Cape, with rainfall potentially decreasing by 30% by 2050, alongside an increase in floods and droughts.
• Sustainable water management requires protecting natural infrastructure, such as wetlands and river buffer zones, and managing agricultural chemicals carefully to prevent water pollution.
