Water attorney unpacks water-use right considerations for the agriculture sector
In a webinar hosted by Agriculture South Africa’s (Agri SA’s) Natural Resource Centre of Excellence, agriculture-water attorney and professional valuer Adriaan Groenewald unpacked some of the pertinent issues related to water-use entitlements in the agriculture sector.
This comes as many water-use licences approved under the prior Water Act of 1956 come up for renewal under the provisions of the National Water Act (NWA) of 1998, as well as increased interest from investors such as banks on the legalities of water use.
