CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT AGENCIES |
| |
Catchment management agencies (CMAs)
are statutory bodies established
by a notice in the government gazette, with jurisdiction in a defined
water
management area (WMA). A CMA therefore manages water resources and
coordinates functions of other institutions involved in water related
matters
within WMAs. A CMA begins to be functional once a governing board
has been
appointed, and is then responsible for specified initial functions,
as well as
any other functions delegated or assigned to it.
The CMA governing board must represent the relevant interests in a
WMA,
and must have appropriate community, racial and gender representation. |
