Water resources policy and administrative management

The Botswana Gourds Association is setting up a project aimed at preparing people of Marico /Limpopo River communities in Kgatleng East such as Mabalane, Sikwane, Mmathubudukwane, Ramonaka,Malolwane ,Olifants Drifts and Ramotlabaki and neighboring settlements in water resource sharing countries, to support and participate in intergraded water conservation activities against destruction of water resources in their areas. The destruction of water resources as well as water pollution is mainly caused by untreated domestic sewage, uncontrolled industrial discharges, poor agricultural practices and deforestation which is mainly the results of human s action. Innovative education and public awareness regarding saving, protection and conservation of water and water resources are inadequate. The project will be using mural as a tool to disseminate message and sensitize both literate and illiterate humans. It will be run in one pilot area which is the linear settlements along the Marico river which joins to Limpopo, Ngotwane and Orange river streams. We see all waters and international water communities as priority areas to practice conservation methods and education to save water resources and quality because waters are connected and deposit into each other.
