Description Paper presented at the 2nd WARFSA / WaterNet Symposium: Integrated Water Resources Management: Theory, Practice, Cases, Cape Town, South Africa, 30-31 October, 2001
This paper discusses the changes in water law in South Africa since the new dispensation. The focus is on the poverty dimensions of the early experiences of implementation of one of the components of the National Water Act: the establishment of Catchment Management Agencies. From a diversity of recent experiences in decentralizing integrated water resources management, key areas emerge where future actions by the government are crucial to establish pro-poor, developmental catchment management Agencies.
