The response of management at two tertiary education institutions in South Africa to water conservation recommendations

This paper presents the results of an investigation of two case studies at tertiary education institutions in the Western Cape of South Africa, in which water audits were implemented. The two institutions are the University of Cape Town and the University of Stellenbosch. The study was initiated following the poor response of one institution to water conservation recommendations. This study emanates from the findings of a more comprehensive Baseline Report, which highlighted the fact that many public organisations and institutions possess the potential for water and cost savings which could be realised by implementing viable water-use audit recommendations. Furthermore, there is growing support and need for improving water-use efficiency due to the ever-increasing demand and limited supplies of water in the Western Cape and South Africa in general.
