Department of Water and Sanitation
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) will be holding extensive community engagements on Unconventional Gas Regulations in different parts of the country over the next week.
Unconventional Gas Regulations
This is after the Department has met with internal and external stakeholders on the published Unconventional Gas Regulations that were developed in accordance with Section 38 of the National Water Act of 1998. The regulations prescribe requirements and procedures when water is used for unconventional gas activities.
Public engagements will be launched, particularly with affected communities in provinces where unconventional gas activities are being tested or future use is anticipated. Public commitments will be carried out as follows:
