- Description: In South Africa, the resource-directed measures (RDM) and the source-directed con-trols (SDC) are the two complementary strategies designed to ensure that water resources are used and protected. The RDM are directed at water resources to en-sure their protection, and include the Water Resource Classification System (WRCS), the classification of every significant water resource, the determination of the re-serve and the setting of resource quality objectives (RQOs). On the other hand, the SDC are measures imposed to restrict and control the use of water resources, not only in terms of ensuring water resource protection, but also in terms of ensuring that water resources are equitably allocated and are used efficiently. Water use li-cencing (WUL) is an example of an SDC instrument.

- Description: The intermediate and long-term impacts of climate change require evaluation of the adaptive capacity of the riverine ecosystems to pro-mote sustainability. The predicted climate change impacts are the moti-vation behind the current research which targets the knowledge gap of the impacts of climate change on the ecological Reserve (or Ecological Water Requirements [EWR]). In order for the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) to meet their mandate to protect aquatic ecosystems, given the constraints of climate change, it is necessary to take cogni-sance of the implications of climate change and to make the necessary adjustments and changes to the ecological Reserve determination methodology. These adjustments will help ensure that sufficient water, at the right time, distributed in the right flow pattern and of adequate quality is provided, so that key ecological processes are sustained, and that biotic communities maintain their health and integrity.
