Abstract

Both the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs (DWEA) and the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) acknowledge the importance of water reform jointly with land reform. What does integrated planning and management of land and water resources mean? What kind of land and water policy framework do we need to support small producers and land-hungry rural communities? And what kind of institutional framework is appropriate to discontinue the disjuncture between land and water reform?
