The Minister of Water and Sanitation has, in terms of section 26 of the NWA, made the regulations requiring that the taking of water for irrigation purposes be measured, recorded and reported.
The regulations prescribe requirements and procedures to be followed to measure the water taken from water resources, including in-stream dams, by water users who are required to measure the water that they take for irrigation purposes. The regulations apply to all taking of water from a water resource for the purposes of irrigation where the water user is required to measure such water.
