SUBMISSIONS ON THE DRAFT NATIONAL WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY-3 PUBLISHED IN GOVERNMENT GAZETTE 47133 ON 29 JULY 2022
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted comments on the draft National Water Resources Strategy 3 (NWRS-3) on 28 October 2022. The submission argues that the strategy must move beyond treating climate change as a future uncertainty and instead implement binding regulations to protect water security. The CER emphasizes the need for legal protection of Strategic Water Source Areas (SWSAs), strengthened compliance monitoring and enforcement (CME), increased transparency in water resource information, and a precautionary approach to unconventional oil and gas exploration due to risks of water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions.
