Water Reconciliation Strategy Study for the Large Bulk Water Supply Systems: Greater Bloemfontein Area 1 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Scope of the Project In order to prevent the anticipated shortages in water supply to the Greater Bloemfontein Area, the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) initiated a Reconciliation Strategy Study to explore supply and demand side interventions that can be implemented to meet anticipated future water requirements. The purpose of the Reconciliation Strategy Study was thus to develop an implementation plan of action to ensure that the supply of water can meet present and future requirements. The Strategy thus provides a programme of studies and other investigations that need to take place so that the necessary interventions are timeously investigated to the appropriated level of detail. The objective of this study is to develop a strategy that will set out a course of action to ensure adequate and sustainable reconciliation of future water requirements in the Greater Bloemfontein Area for at least 25 years. This study: 1. Investigated future water requirements scenarios for the Greater Bloemfontein Area; 2. Investigated possible water conservation and water demand management (WC/WDM) interventions, groundwater interventions, re-use of treated effluent, and possible future surface water resource development options; 3. Investigated possible scenarios for reconciling the requirements for water with the available resources; and 4. Provides recommendations for development and implementation of interventions and actions required. This report describes the interventions that were investigated. 1.2 Study Area The study area comprises those areas served by the large bulk water supply systems which serve the Greater Bloemfontein Area, which includes Bloemfontein, Thaba Nchu, Botshabelo, Wepener, Dewetsdorp, Reddersburg, and Edenburg. Furthermore, the future water requirements of the rural villages surrounding Thaba Nchu, which currently receive water from groundwater sources, werel also be taken into consideration. In addition to the urban and rural water requirements, agricultural water requirements also formed part of this study, as these water requirements also impact on the reconciliation of supply and requirement. The study area is shown in Figure 1.1. Interventions Report June 2012
