The interactive workshop on the registration and authorisation of water users presented to dairy farmers by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), in cooperation with the MPO Eastern Cape, this week was successful and well attended. The DWS informed dairy farmers about their obligations in terms of the Water Act and explained in a user-friendly, step-by-step manner how to become registered and authorised water users for different purposes. The DWS undertook to assist dairy farmers throughout the process. The MPO views the DWS workshops as the first step in creating awareness about the requirements of sustainable water management. The MPO urges dairy farmers in the Eastern Cape to attend the next workshop, scheduled for 26 Nov 2015 at 10:00 at Python Park in East London.
