Die regsaard van bevoegdhede om water te gebruik
Abstract
The South African water dispensation was changed dramatically with the
proclamation of the National Water Act 36 of 1998. The distinction that the
previous water dispensation made between private water and public water are
no longer in use and all the water resources in South Africa now vest in the
national government as public trustee. The South African water resources are
regulated by the NWA and removed from the sphere of private ownership.
NWA makes provision for licensed water use although not every form of water
use requires a license for the use to be permitted. The nature of water use
entitlements granted in terms of the NWA will be investigated in this paper in
order to see how these entitlements must be used in the estate planning
process.
