Agricultural industry organisation AgriSA has welcomed the decision by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) acting director-general Deborah Mochotlhi to give regional DWS offices and catchment management agencies the power to issue water-use licences for low-risk and low-volume applications. AgriSA views the decision as critical to fact-track applications for water-use licences, and says it is one of the key strategic measures to achieve revised time-frames to speed up the turnaround time for the finalisation of water-use licence applications from 300 days to 90 days. The regulation was signed into effect on February 16.
