As South Africa braces for an unparalleled water crisis‚ commercial property owners and developers need to implement detailed management plans and strategies to optimize water use in their buildings. The water crisis in South Africa has worsened, prompting Gauteng’s cities to impose water restrictions. Some other places have run out of water supply and residents there have to be supplied with water by water tanks. Meanwhile the Department of Water and Sanitation was expected on Wednesday to brief the portfolio committee in Parliament about the status of the drought in South Africa. This comes as the country faces a burgeoning water crisis that has depleted many municipalities and the agriculture sector since last year.
