Abstract
This book discusses some issues of water policy and its implementation in South Africa. This chapter highlights some key, overarching issues related to the implementation of water policy in South Africa. These issues are discussed in the context of good water governance, based on three principles: a professional bureaucracy; predictable, open and enlightened policy making; and a strong civil society active in public affairs. The chapter closes with some discussion on some of the key challenges and priority actions in moving forward.
