| "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it" : |

This principle applies as much to water resource management as it applies
to managing any other kind of human endeavour. The need for monitoring and
assessment of water quality to be an integral part of water resources
management in South Africa is stated explicitly in the
National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998), which mandates the
Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry to establish national
monitoring systems that monitor, record, assess and
disseminate information on water resources.
