OBJECTIONS TO THE WATER USE LICENCE APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSED MOKOLO CROCODILE RIVER (WEST) WATER AUGMENTATION PROJECT PHASE2A (MCWAP-2A)
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), on behalf of Earthlife Africa and groundWork, submitted formal objections on 14 June 2022 to the Integrated Water Use Licence Application (IWULA) for Phase 2A of the Mokolo Crocodile River (West) Water Augmentation Project (MCWAP-2A). The CER argues that the project is an unnecessary inter-basin transfer designed to support coal expansion, which contradicts South Africa's climate commitments and poses severe risks to aquatic ecosystems and local communities.

Review of the MCWAP Phase 2A Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report (September 2018), and Baseline Aquatic and Wetland Impact Specialist Reports
The Freshwater Research Centre (FRC) conducted a review of the Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report (DEIR) for the Mokolo and Crocodile River (West) Water Augmentation Project (Phase 2A). The FRC concludes that the assessment of operational phase impacts on aquatic ecosystems is inadequate, particularly regarding water quality, hydrology, and the transfer of invasive biota between catchments.
