UMHLATHUZE WATER STEWARDSHIP PARTNERSHIP
The uMhlathuze Water Stewardship Partnership (UWASP) is a multistakeholder platform established following a severe drought in 2016 to address water scarcity and security in the uMhlathuze catchment. The catchment is a high-risk area where water demand is projected to rise, with Richards Bay alone expected to require 20 million m³ per annum by 2025. UWASP's new five-year strategy focuses on five strategic areas: integrated knowledge management, stakeholder mobilisation, capacity building, strengthening water governance, and implementing climate-aware water stewardship projects. Past successes include the development of real-time monitoring tools like FlowTracker, invasive alien plant strategies, and providing Good Agricultural Practices training to over 50 smallholder farmers.
