Abstract:

The South African National Water Act (NWA) (Act 36 of 1998) requires that the environmental reserve be determined for each significant water body before water licenses may be issued. Methods currently available for the determination of environmental water requirements for South Africa's rivers are based on perennial rivers, but about two-thirds of South Africa has non-perennial rivers.
