According to tests made by Pathcare Laboratory at St. George’s, water in certain areas of the Bay is not safe to drink. This is caused by the lack of free-chlorine, which is meant to kill harmful contaminants in the water, therefore making the water an ideal breeding ground for germs and bacteria.

Tests carried out for The Herald by Pathcare Laboratories have revealed that water samples from Livingstone Hospital contain traces of the potentially deadly E.coli bacteria

( Fecal Coliform/E coli: Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, and people with severely compromised immune systems.) Water from the Korsten area contains unacceptable high amount of coli form bacteria, which indicate the presence of either human or animal faeces and the absence of effective water treatment. The presence of coli form bacteria in drinking water indicates that disease-causing organisms, or pathogens, are contaminating the water system.

( Total Coliform: Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. ) Residents are being warned to boil drinking water. Water filters are largely ineffective in filtering the micro-organisms.

For the past month, in Framesby, the waters’ free chlorine levels have been zero (according to Mr. Pieter Rossouw, a water analyst) – way below the Department of Water Affairs’ recommended level of between 0.3 and 0.6mg/litre. “Without intervention, it’s just a matter of time until the whole system is fully contaminated. A disaster is coming”, he said.

According to the Department of Water Affairs guidelines, there should be no presence of E.coli in treated water, while any total coli form count between 10/100ml and 100/100ml was worrisome and ‘indicative of inadequate treatment, post treatment contamination or growth in the distribution system with a risk of infectious disease transmission with continuous exposure’.

The municipality was stripped of the department’s prestigious Blue Drop status earlier his year, when it failed to score 97% for its water assessment, losing points in the areas of water planning processed and drinking water quality compliance, instead achieving 90%.

Mr Rossouw wrote an urgent letter to the municipality highlighting the lack of free chlorine in the water supplying his suburb, and the likely chance of bacteriological contamination of the city’s supply should nothing be done. He didn’t receive any response from them yet. “It’s just a matter of time until the pipelines are contaminated. Major corrective action will then be needed, and without it a disaster is coming,’ he warned. Another worrying phenomenon was also occurring with the distilling process, with the municipal water periodically beginning to froth and foam – a phenomenon Rossouw thought could be due to the presence of potentially harmful organic chemicals.

What can Water Rhapsody do for you??

Let Water Rhapsody install a Grand Opus System at your residence or business. You will harvest clean rainwater, it will be filtered by our Rain Runners, will reach your rainwater tanks via a closed system, not allowing light or air to reach it (therefore no algae growth or mosquito larvae in your water). The tanks will be connected to your home supply, making it your main water supply. With a manifold override, you will have the option to use municipal water when you need to.

We supply water tanks only. We install water tanks. We guarantee the best service and advice in the Eastern Cape. Our systems are being installed in Cape Town since 1994.

Rain water is the purest form of water. Make use of it when you can. At this stage, after this article today, water tanks is not a ‘maybe one day’ or a ‘nice-to have’, it’s becoming a necessity.

How the average capacity of dams is calculated:
Each dam has a full supply capacity expressed as a volume in Mega liters (Ml). The percentages that are reported weekly represent the volume of water left in each dam, expressed as a percentage of that particular dam’s full volume.
The volume for each dam is different. One cannot add up the percentages and divide by five.
The volume left in all the dams (example 96 906 Ml) is then expressed as a percentage of the total volume (277 401 Ml) if all the dams were full. Therefore 96 906 Ml divided by 277 401 Ml gives 34.93%.

This is the content of a short speech given on Friday night in Cape Town by Lewis Gordon Pugh OIG (a.k.a. the Human Polar Bear) about the proposed fracking for gas in the Karoo, by Shell.

He received a sustained standing ovation !

Ladies and gentlemen, thank for the opportunity to address you. My name is Lewis Pugh.

This evening, I want to take you back to the early 1990′s in this country.  You may remember them well. Nelson Mandela had been released. There was euphoria in the air. However, there was also widespread violence and deep fear. This country teetered on the brink of a civil war. But somehow, somehow, we averted it. It was a miracle!

And it happened because we had incredible leaders. Leaders who sought calm..  Leaders who had vision. So in spite of all the violence, they sat down and negotiated a New Constitution.

I will never forget holding the Constitution in my hands for the first time.

I was a young law student at the University of Cape Town. This was the cement that brought peace to our land. This was the document, which held our country together. The rights contained herein, made us one.

I remember thinking to myself – never again will the Rights of South Africans be trampled upon.

Now every one of us – every man and every women – black, white, coloured, Indian, believer and non believer – has the right to vote. We all have the Right to Life. And our children have the right to a basic education. These rights are enshrined in our Constitution.

These rights were the dreams of Oliver Tambo. These rights were the dreams of Nelson Mandela. These rights were the dreams of Mahatma Gandhi, of Desmond Tutu and of Molly Blackburn. These rights were our dreams.

People fought – and died – so that we could enjoy these rights today.

Also enshrined in our Constitution, is the Right to a Healthy Environment and the Right to Water. Our Constitution states that we have the Right to have our environment protected for the benefit of our generation and for the benefit of future generations.

Fellow South Africans, let us not dishonour these rights. Let us not dishonour those men and women who fought and died for these rights. Let us not allow corporate greed to disrespect our Constitution and desecrate our environment.

Never, ever did I think that there would be a debate in this arid country about which was more important – gas or water. We can survive without gas….  We cannot live without water.

If we damage our limited water supply – and fracking will do just that we will have conflict again here in South Africa. Look around the world. Wherever you damage the environment you have conflict.

Fellow South Africans, we have had enough conflict in this land – now is the time for peace.

A few months ago I gave a speech with former President of Costa Rica.  Afterwards I asked him “Mr President, how do you balance the demands of development against the need to protect the environment?” He looked at me and said : “It is not a balancing act. It is a simple business decision. If we cut down our forests in Costa Rica to satisfy a timber company, what will be left for our future?” But he pointed out : “It is also a moral decision. It would be morally wrong to chop down our forests and leave nothing for my children and my grandchildren.”

Ladies and gentlemen, that is what is at stake here today: Our children’s future. And that of our children s children.

There may be gas beneath our ground in the Karoo. But are we prepared to destroy our environment for 5 to 10 years worth of fossil fuel and further damage our climate?

Yes, people will be employed – but for a short while. And when the drilling is over, and Shell have packed their bags and disappeared, then what? Who will be there to clean up? And what jobs will our children be able to eke out?

Now Shell will tell you that their intentions are honourable. That fracking in the Karoo will not damage our environment. That they will not contaminate our precious water. That they will bring jobs to South Africa. That gas is clean and green. And that they will help secure our energy supplies. When I hear this – I have one burning question. Why should we trust them?  Africa is to Shell what the Gulf of Mexico is to BP.

Shell, you have a shocking record here in Africa. Just look at your operations in Nigeria. You have spilt more than 9 million barrels of crude oil into the Niger Delta. That’s twice the amount of oil that BP spilt into the Gulf of Mexico. You were found guilty of bribing Nigerian officials – and to make the case go away in America – you paid an admission of guilt fine of US$48 million.

And to top it all, you stand accused of being complicit in the execution of Nigeria’s leading environmental campaigner – Ken Saro-Wira and 8 other activists. If you were innocent, why did you pay US$15.5 million to the widows and children to settle the case out of Court?

Shell, the path you want us to take us down is not sustainable. I have visited the Arctic for 7 summers in a row. I have seen the tundra thawing.

I have seen the retreating glaciers. And I have seen the melting sea ice.  And I have seen the impact of global warming from the Himalayas all the way down to the low-lying Maldive Islands. Wherever I go – I see it.

Now is the time for change. We cannot drill our way out of the energy crisis. The era of fossil fuels is over. We must invest in renewable energy. And we must not delay!

Shell, we look to the north of our continent and we see how people got tired of political tyranny. We have watched as despots, who have ruled ruthlessly year after year, have been toppled in a matter of weeks.

We too are tired. Tired of corporate tyranny. Tired of your short term, unsustainable practices.

We watched as Dr Ian Player, a game ranger from Natal, and his friends, took on Rio Tinto (one of the biggest mining companies in the world) and won.

And we watched as young activists from across Europe, brought you down to your knees, when you tried to dump an enormous oil rig into the North Sea.

Shell, we do not want our Karoo to become another Niger Delta.

Do not underestimate us. Goliath can be brought down. We are proud of what we have achieved in this young democracy – and we are not about to let your company come in and destroy it.

So let this be a Call to Arms to everyone across South Africa, who is sitting in the shadow of Goliath: Stand up and demand these fundamental human rights promised to you by our Constitution. Use your voices – tweet, blog, petition, rally the weight of your neighbours and of people in power.

Let us speak out from every hilltop. Let us not go quietly into this bleak future.

Let me end off by saying this – You have lit a fire in our bellies, which no man or woman can extinguish. And if we need to, we will take this fight all the way from your petrol pumps to the very highest Court in this land. We will take this fight from the farms and towns of the Karoo to the streets of London and Amsterdam. And we will take this fight to every one of your shareholders. And I have no doubt, that in the end, good will triumph over evil.

Acid Mine Water Pollution

According to his findings, McCarthy said in 2011, possibly 2012, AMD will seep up through the main shaft at Gold Reef City, and this underground facility will be forced to shut down. Boksburg, he warned, could see acid mine drainage rising up through drainage points, spewing toxic filth into the town.

Professor McCarthy explaining the seriousness of the Mining Water Pollution in JHB

The geologist said the mine void, a large hole left after decades of mining, will have filled and underground water carrying sulphuric acid, heavy metals and a number of other toxins will spill out and could compromise “our cities and towns, our economy and environment, our reputation, and arguably, our future”. McCarthy said the Department of Water Affairs last year indicated that AMD from abandoned mines could result in catastrophic ground and surface water pollution.  

Johannesburg Mine Water Pollution

Already, the Western Basin of the Witwatersrand is decanting, meaning that acidic and heavy-metals-laden water from the mines is now spewing into rivers and the surrounding environment. Environmental activist Mariette Liefferink warned this week that AMD is not only associated with surface and ground water pollution and degradation of soil quality, it also harms aquatic sediments and fauna and allows heavy metals to seep into the environment.

Derek Watts (Carte Blanche presenter): “Since our last story the mine water crisis across Johannesburg has been headline news around the world. The government appointed a technical task team which has reported back to the ministers involved.” They compiled this report, released last week in which they outlined suggestions to fix the problem in the short term.

Edna Molewa is the new minister of water affairs. Edna Molewa (Minister, Department of Water Affairs): “One of the things that the team suggested is that we should begin with the area around Krugersdorp where the problem is very bad right now. And that’s a decision right now that stands; there is money provided for that programme.”And after a long stalemate government have finally agreed to pick up the tab to pump and partially treat the water. Edna: “Right now there is almost a R400-million cost estimation. We do know that the amount needed is going to be close to a billion… thereabout. And that is not the end.”

Acid water running into our rivers

Prof McCarthy: “What the recommendations are is to return the situation to the status quo as it was in the case of the Central basin to 2008, in the case of the Western basin to 2002, and in the case of the Eastrand basin, what it was before Grootvlei stopped pumping. So that will involve pumping and basic treatment, which involved precipitation of the iron in the heavy metals with the addition of lime and oxygen, and then the release of the sulphate rich water into the rivers.” But pumping is only half the story. Water is so toxic it needs to be treated properly before its released into the rivers and that is where the proposed solution falls short. The team proposed that government neutralise the water. What that means is that lime is added. That attracts the heavy metal particles to settle to the bottom as a toxic sludge. Around 100 000 tonnes per year of this sludge will need to find a home in pits. The rest of the water is released into rivers but still contains salt or sulphate levels way beyond any international or locally acceptable levels. Prof McCarthy: “It’s not a long term solution because you need high quality water to dilute but you also need to use that high quality for consumers. So you are caught between a rock and a hard place: you have to throw away good water simply to improve the quality of bad water and that is an enormous waste.” Already a million tonnes of sulphates per year are going into the Vaal barrage. Clean water from the Vaal Dam is released simply to dilute the water so it can be cleaned up for drinking downstream. High salts means your water costs could double.

Prof McCarthy: “So in order to provide additional water to allow for the dilution they will have to bring on the Lesotho Highlands scheme earlier. If you can take the salts out or prevent them getting in then obviously you save water.” So surely then salt removal should be at the heart of any solution?

We took a look at three different solutions to see what is on offer. Physicist Richard Doyle says their solution is zero waste as it removes all the salts. Richard Doyle (Managing Director: Earth): “The water problem, the mine effluent problem is not a water problem it’s a salt problem. All of the technologies can manage – or many of them can produce clean water. What differentiates us is that we can usefully employ the salts and that is critical.” Richard: “So here is a tin of soup – imagine this comes in the front of the plant. Here’s our pilot plant – it is a small version of what we’d eventually build – and the easiest way to think about it is that on this side we’ve got this type of vegetables: carrots, let’s say, yellow vegetables. These are typically the metals like uranium, calcium and magnesium and iron and aluminium. And in here we’ve got little resin beads, but these are like rabbits, they grab the carrots because they like them. What comes out of there is the vegetable soup, but it only has peppers in it. And here we’ve got donkeys that like the peppers and they grab the peppers. So we take the carrots out there and the peppers out here and what you see is just drinking water; we’ve completely cleaned the water.” Richard contends that his process will be funded by the sale of the by-products; selling the water would be a bonus. Richard: That means we will enter into an off-take agreement with the mine – they will give us their junk, we will raise money and build a business around that, and it is a great story.”

In Randfontein is the pilot plant of the WUC process which was the forerunner in the big clean up.” Jaco Schoeman is the CEO of the Western Utilities Corporation. Their plan is to pump the water from each basin to a central treatment station. This pilot plant is a miniature version of a proposed 14 hectare plant costing about R1.5-billion. WUC uses a solution developed by the CSIR called the Alkali Barium Calcium process to clean the water. Jaco Schoeman (MD & CEO: Western Utilities Corporation): “What you see here today is just the technology – there are five specific legs to the solution.” Jaco has spent 4 years and R75-mllion rand in the hope that government will accept their pumping and treatment proposal. But they have faced a barrage of criticism because the only way they could fund it was to sell 100 million litres per day onto Rand Water at a profit. The WUC process was also the mining industry’s answer to the problem. Jaco: “When we presented this plan to government it was perceived that we were trying to privatise water, which is against the Constitution. That was obviously not the intention – we were tasked to find a long term self-sustainable solution for the mining houses. We are prepared to do this entire project open book in terms of operating cpst and capital cost.” Four mines send their toxic water here to Anglo’s Emalahleni plant in Mpumalanga. According to Terence the water around the town is so polluted in some cases it’s unusable. Prof McCarthy: “The power stations in the Witbank and Middleburg area cannot use the water for power generation. The salt level in the local rivers in the Middleburg area is so high now from coal mining that they can’t use it. They have to import water from the Usuthu and Komati rivers.”

Back in 1995 the water was corroding the pipes at Anglo’s mines so quickly that hydrologist Peter Gunther started researching different clean up solutions. Peter Gunther (Regional Manager, Hydrology: Anglo American Thermal Coal): “There was a water issue – the plant was corroding away and we needed somebody to look at water. So as a challenge I took it up.”The result is this R500-million plant that has won awards for its innovation and is sending high quality water to Emalahleni residents.

When you look at the water as it comes through initially, it looks like a lost cause. But Peter states that Reverse osmosis technology has the ability to remove anything from water. And with the mine water that they have got they know they can make good quality potable drinking water.”

Lime Treatment to Purify Water

The way it works is that the water comes in from the four different mines like this. The water is then pre-treated using lime and limestone to neutralise the acidic water. The solids are separated out into these enormous tanks and then the water is taken through a three stage desalination process to remove the salt from the water. The plant is expanding and will soon release no salt water as waste. The downside is its expensive and in effect they make a loss on the water they sell.  R11 per kilolitre is the right amount at the moment, but the focus was going for zero waste will help our costs over time.” And they are turning their waste into houses. One of the ideas that they came up with was instead of just disposing of the waste for eternity is what can we do? Gypum and housing are synonymous with one other so we have now built 66 houses out of Gypsum.”

Houses, explosives, fertiliser – South Africans have found innovative ways to turn the toxic tide into an opportunity and create jobs at the same time. We could turn our acid mine drainage problem into an opportunity but do our leaders have the vision?

But in this time of drought when green citizens are trying to reduce their carbon footprint, water tanks have once again become a household fixture – and for more than just environmental reasons. A water tank is good for the environment, yes, but is also good for your lifestyle and your hip pocket. Here are some good reasons to install a water tank at your home or business:

1. Save water

Water shortages resulting from the drought have made it more important than ever to conserve the water we have. South Africa receives from the least rainfall of all inhabited continents and water is the most valuable resource we have – we need it to live!

2. Keep town drinking water for drinking

Instead of wasting fresh drinkable water on the garden, to wash the car or flush the toilet, installing a tank means less precious drinking water will be lost through activities such as these, and more will be available for us to drink.

3. Beat water restrictions

Water restrictions have been imposed across South Africa, limiting the amount of water used for non-essential activities. A water tank will give you the freedom to use your own collected water without having to tap into the town supply. This means you can choose to use your water for a greener lawn, cleaner car or to fill up the swimming pool when it’s hot.

4. Save money in the future

Once the initial expense of the water tank has been borne, you can save money on all future water bills. As our population grows and water becomes scarcer, it is probable that the cost of water will rise, so you can be protected from these costs by collecting your own water.

5. Collect your own drinking water

If you’re worried about chemicals added to the town water supply, a water tank could be the solution for you. Forget about buying expensive bottled water, you can collect your own fresh water for drinking purposes in a tank.

6. Make a statement

Modern water tanks come in a variety of colours, styles, sizes and materials to suit you.

An anticipated 800 – 1,000 leaders for this global dialogue that will focus on Water, Wealth & Power for  the Eco-Century.

As we confront a growing scarcity of the world’s most indispensable resource, the International Women’s Forum (IWF) will convene in Canada  (13-15 October 2010)  to explore and better understand what’s at stake — drawing together from our global membership, leaders of influence from outside the traditional realm of the “water community”.

Hearing from the world’s leading experts, advocates and catalysts for change who will address the World Conference, their global membership will be challenged to test the boundaries of possibility for a new era of improved access to and utilization of water resources. Werner Neuhoff, a South African born entrepreneur, would be presenting to this global audience on October 15, 2010 at 8:35 am in Montréal for the Plenary Program – Ecopreneurs: The Blue Gold Rush.

The conference is designed to invite a serious rethinking of how domestic and foreign policies must be shaped for strong global leadership on this most pressing and urgent issue.  Aiming at the heart of what our global leaders understand best, the program will underscore how enterprise, economies, societies and nations will be built in an eco-century that is reshaping wealth and power for more equitable social, economical and political realities.

The International Women’s Forum (IWF) is a global organization of preeminent women of significant and diverse achievement. It is a one-of-a-kind organization of singular standing in the world today that furthers dynamic leadership, leverages global access, and maximizes opportunities for women to exert their influence. www.iwforum.org

All low fruit of water has been harvested and exhausted.  There is not a single river that can possibly be damned in the country to augment supply.  There are no more augmentation schemes like we know to provide any more water.  Simply put 2010 sees South Africa on its last dregs of supply management as we know it.  The future is not rosy.

The future:

Worst hit will be the Reef.  Ground water will soon be polluted with Acid Mine Water which will enter the water table and erode buildings.  Rivers are being polluted with sewerage AMW, and it is not just the acid water that is so toxic to the rivers, but Cyanide, and radioactive substances including isotopes of Radon, Iridium and  Uranium.  The cocktail of these will make it impossible to use this water for anything whatsoever.  Worse still, is that this water will reach the drinking water of the Vaal system and make this water unusable too, soon, within 18 months!

There is not one single sewerage treatment works in the whole country that is able to process all of the sewerage effluent arriving in the pipelines to their works.  This means that raw, untreated effluent is flowing into every river around the country, and all over the country people are dying from drinking toxic water, in a septic state for us to drink!

Water outages have become the norm in many municipalities unable to cope with increasing demand.  Outages will come to Gauteng by 2013 and Cape Town perhaps sooner.

Cape Town is going into a drought cycle, from which they will only emerge in 3 years time, and will be out of water by 2012.  Though the city is way ahead in educational exposure of water matters, the city ignores rainwater harvesting and the water saving aspect of demand management as a tool to provide extra water for the City.

Places like Hartebeest Poort: this is simply an extension of a sewerage treatment works.  The water is toxic and even the municipality drawing on this water admit that they are unable to treat this water for potable purposes.  Worse is to follow.  The AMW has reached this body of water.  Rand Water is contracting to provide the diminishing water from the Vaal Dam at a staggering 200 million Rand to the area for drinking quality water.

The good news:  Enter Water Rhapsody from the wings:

Water Rhapsody will reduce demand for most if not all buildings by at least 50% and in some instances by 90%.  Water Rhapsody too will provide water safe to use in the house by harvesting water from roofs, and pumping under normal pressure to the whole household.  Furthermore Water Rhapsody with its proven conservation systems is able to reduce water demand to as low as 80 litres per person per day.  Country wide the current demand is 240 litres per person per day.  Water Rhapsody does this without getting the user to change his or her lifestyle in any way.  The resultant effluent from a user of the Water Rhapsody Systems of Conservation is a fall in sewerage flow of 90%.  This reduction over a whole suburb would mean that any sewerage treatment works would be able to cope with the effluent volume, allowing water safe to drink running into our rivers.

Clearly Municipalities as well as Government must take notice that we have a disaster that is currently happening.  It is not if, or when this might happen, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!!

The track record and technology for the Water Rhapsody Systems is proven without a single failure ever.  The systems have been built into the biggest companies and institutions including Old Mutual in Pinelands and UCT in Cape Town.

The Government and municipalities treat water as a commodity because they sell water for profit but we must never lose sight of the fact that water is a precious resource.

Lastly, though coastal regions are in a better position that inland cities, none of these cities have enough water.  The buzz words of using ground water and desalination of sea water are not sustainable.  The water for instance in the TMG (Table Mountain Group) aquifer is fossil water from millions of years ago, and be warned – there is a finite amount of water in the aquifer, and the recharge is perhaps thousands of years.  As for desalination of sea water – the energy cost of 4 kilowatt hours to desalinate sea water to make one kilolitre of potable water is simply not a cost effective way of providing water.  Take the smallest of the large dams supplying Cape Town –Steenbras Lower Dam contains 30 million kilolitres  of water which Cape Town would use up in less than 15 days.  It would cost Cape Town 120 million Kilowatt hours of power generation to provide the equivalent amount of water as this dam though the desalination process of Reverse Osmosis (RO).  Clearly this should not be considered as an option.  Cape Town is stressed enough for power supply, and there would not be enough power generation for this option.

Water Rhapsody encourages the  public to make use of their natural resources, not taking away of using more energy to try to create something out of existing resources. People must realize the effect of what we’re implementing now, on our future and those of the one’s we leave behind.
