Operating a business without water is an unfathomable thought; however, a very real reality for the industries, agribusiness and commercial operations in and around Cape Town.<\/p>\n

ESI Africa is hosting a live free-to-attend webinar discussion on Thursday, 8 March 2018, addressing the current water situation in the City of Cape Town, South Africa and the available technologies, strategies and solutions, to overcome the challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe looming Day Zero is not endemic to the City as other areas in South Africa and globally are experiencing drought conditions\u201d says Nicolette Pombo-van Zyl editor of ESI Africa. \u201cWhat is unique is that if Cape Town does in fact reach Day Zero \u2013 the day when taps are turned off – it will be the first major city world-wide to have reached this unimaginable point of no return, the resulting economic impact as agri-business, construction industry, smelters and commercial concerns grind to a halt will be catastrophic.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cit is imperative that we find alternative means to manage and replenish our water sources, whether this is from groundwater supplies or reducing waste of potable water in the reticulation system \u2013 suitable technologies must be explored.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the one-hour webinar on 8 March, we will gather large water consumers, water sector professionals, owners of businesses that use water as its main revenue driver, or public sector water professionals to share and gain greater insight into current plans to increase bulk water supply; and what technology solutions are available to implement in their businesses to support water best practice. It is also an opportunity to ask our expert presenters real-time questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the concerns raised are the impact this has on commerce and industry, and national plans going forward to better manage bulk water supply,\u201d states Pombo-van Zyl adding that through this webinar global cities and major industrial hubs can learn from Cape Town\u2019s current predicament.<\/p>\n

The webinar, which provides a platform for discussion is the \u201cideal virtual space to connect the dots between policy, strategy and technology, and to discover innovative practices in water management,\u201d says Pombo-van Zyl.<\/p>\n

Working with the annual African Utility Week conference, and as its official host media publication, ESI Africa is aligned in the message that Cape Town remains open for business. The event will have a strong focus on water with the conference showcasing how partnerships, financial models and latest technological advances can make the greatest impact in meeting Africa’s water demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a major event in the City, African Utility Week plays a crucial role in contributing towards the in-ward bound travel market,\u201d says the event director Evan Schiff, \u201cby holding the event as planned, African Utility Week will continue to support the Cape Town economy as we cannot allow for there to be massive job losses on top of a water constrained situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who should attend?
