The WRC operates in terms of the Water Research Act (Act 34 of 1971) and its mandate is to support water research and development as well as the building of a sustainable water research capacity in South Africa. The WRC serves as the country’s water-centred knowledge ‘hub’  leading the creation, dissemination and application of water-centred knowledge, focusing on  water resource management, water-linked ecosystems, water use and waste management and water utilisation in agriculture.

What Madiba said about water:

“Political freedom alone is not enough if you lack clean water. Freedom alone is not enough without light to read at night, without time or access to water to irrigate your farm, without the ability to catch fish to feed your family. For this reason the struggle for sustainable development nearly equals the struggle for political freedom. They can grow together or they can unravel together.” - Pres Nelson Mandela 2000
