- Description: In South Africa, the resource-directed measures (RDM) and the source-directed con-trols (SDC) are the two complementary strategies designed to ensure that water resources are used and protected. The RDM are directed at water resources to en-sure their protection, and include the Water Resource Classification System (WRCS), the classification of every significant water resource, the determination of the re-serve and the setting of resource quality objectives (RQOs). On the other hand, the SDC are measures imposed to restrict and control the use of water resources, not only in terms of ensuring water resource protection, but also in terms of ensuring that water resources are equitably allocated and are used efficiently. Water use li-cencing (WUL) is an example of an SDC instrument.

- Description: This book was written for the catchment management forum (CMF) in the Upper Komati Forum (UKF), and they share their experience in order to help other CMFs understand the damage coal mining does to our water resources. This booklet should be used with How to think and act in ways that make Adaptive IWRM practi-cally possible and How to establish and run a Catchment Management Forum.

- Description: Scherman and Palmer (2013) reviewed the historical and current trends of Environmental Water Quality (EWQ) in South Africa. Based on the review, they identified research gaps for which they proposed a co-ordinated set of projects that need to be commissioned and executed to fill these gaps. These co-ordinated set of projects include update of TEACHA (Tool for Ecological Aquatic Chemical Habitat Assessment); update of the national salt toxicity database; integration of Resource Directed Measures (RDM) components (ie Ecological Reserve, Re-source Quality Objectives (RQOs) and Classification); integrating water quality and quantity; evaluation of the RDM participatory process based on research and current understandings of complex social-ecological systems and ecosystem services; and integrating RDM and SDC (Source Direct Control) to ensure coherent link between the two. The overarching aim of the above set of projects is to support implementa-tion of the National Water Resource Strategy 2 (NWRS2). Therefore, the main objective of this project to contribute to addressing the second research gap listed above (ie updating the national salt toxicity data-base). Noting that the database contains only data on single salts with nothing on salt mixtures, the project also generated binary salt mixtures data for the database, in addition to generating data for single salts.
