Drought relief assistance to the water supply task Force of the National Consultative Forum on the Drought (Republic of South Africa)

The evaluation set out to: a. identify drought crisis points through reconnaissance and meetings with local community leaders, churches, NGO's, and other authorities; b. assess the conditions at each crisis point and prioritize interventions; c. intervene with emergency resources; d. consolidate water security using local surface and/or groundwater; e. review the longer-term water security of the area through an advisory committee and the consultants; and f. review the consultants' plans in terms of these objectives. The report provides a broad overview of the water supply and drought situation in the areas where the WASH team worked in late 1992. Recommendations for the future water supply activities for the areas visited are also given
