The implementation of so-called integrated waste management plans and policies by municipalities will create opportunities for U.S. suppliers. In the short- and medium-term, opportunities exist in the provision of residential solid waste technologies and rehabilitation equipment to assist local municipalities. Water Management Mine acid drainage is possibly the most pressing industrial remedial water management issue facing South Africa. With regards to potable retail water management, the biggest issue facing the big urban centers is the underground loss of bulk water due to failing infrastructure (25% of all water supplied). In most cases the reported drop in quality of potable water is due to lack of technical capacity of the local water authorities to manage water purification systems. South Africa is considering coastal city desalination programs as an immediate technology option to address rapidly increasing water demands. The guiding policy document is the Framework on Water for Growth and Development, drafted in 2009 by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry. This document prescribes that all major coastal cities urgently look into this technology. Government has set a target of producing 7-10% of all water from desalination by 2030.
