The smart irrigation market is growing due to the increasing role of technology in irrigation management.

South Africa’s water department will propose a bill to eliminate “glaring inequalities” in the industry and draft new conservation regulations.  

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has assured South Africans that the country will not run out of water during the dry winter spell, but warns that the sustainability of the water may be compromised if consumers use water negligently.

Water is essential to human life, and it's no mystery that the sun plays an important role in the water cycle on our planet, as water moves from clouds to rain to rivers, lakes and oceans, and back again. Scientists have discovered several ways to use the sun's energy and the processes of evaporation and condensation to help sanitize water and make it safe to drink.

South Africa has adequate water in storage to sustain it through the dry winter season, but the resource should be utilised carefully, the department of water and sanitation has said.
