Platform for a Water Secure Gauteng

The multi-stakeholder Platform for a Water Secure Gauteng (PWSG) was established to strengthen joint engagement in driving water security in Gauteng especially focused on reducing water demand.

It is an initiative launched by the National Dept of Water and Sanitation (DWS) with support of the 2030 Water Resources Group at the World Bank, and draws together government, business and civil society into this effort.

The first version of the Dashboard has been loaded onto the DWS home page – https://www.dws.gov.za/dashboard

Andrew Barker (LinkedIn) will represent the GPMA in all engagements with the PWSG.
