This month at Water Wise
We are turning our environment into an open sewer. Ideally we need to look at using water-efficient toilets in our homes, and encouraging our municipalities to upgrade our sanitation infrastructure in order to accommodate our country’s fast-growing population. World Toilet Day on 19 November is about nature-based solutions to our sanitation needs.
By responding with an environmentally friendly approach we respect and take care of our environment positively impacting on our living conditions today and for the future.

Water Wise October events
Water Wise always have interesting exhibitions, workshops, roadshows and environmental events every month depending on our environmental calendar and stakeholders that we work with. In the month of October, we had exciting activities, here are some events:
Scientific Services' Water Wise Education Team and EMS Water Wise participated in the Gauteng Environmental Education Forum (GEEF), where they discussed the challenges and possible solutions for reaching out to people using environmental education, inline with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 4. Progress reports on activities of sustainable development (e.g. veggie gardens) in the communities happening around the country were also discussed.
Water Wise together with Environmental Rehabilitation and Horticulture visited two rehabilitation projects in Pretoria and Florida to see the progress and learn new techniques. They also went on to visit Haartebeespoort Dam where they learned about taking care water as our valuable resource.
Water Wise conducted an educational exhibition at Clearwater Mall for two weeks in October. People were educated on how to save water in their lifestyle which includes the use of water efficient taps and shower heads and dual flush toilets. The team also taught people how to read their water meter and their bills.
