| Water is traditionally extracted from ground water (boreholes and wells) or surface water sources (rain harvesting, springs, rivers and dams). Most surface waters contain micro-organisms that can cause waterborne illnesses, making filtration and chemical disinfection essential. The growing pressure on scarce water resources results in increasing demand for alternative sources of water such as seawater desalination, effluent reuse and acid mine water treatment. Through Proxa, WSSA masters such technologies. |
