Water Research Commission

Water scarcity across South Africa demands urgent research and practical solutions, and finding an organisation that genuinely understands the technical and policy dimensions of the challenge matters enormously. The Water Research Commission addresses this gap by investigating how water systems can be managed more effectively across the country's varied landscapes and competing needs. Their work spans everything from understanding groundwater dynamics to evaluating treatment technologies and supporting communities facing supply challenges. In Pretoria, they operate as a knowledge hub where government, municipalities, researchers, and practitioners collaborate on evidence-based water security. Whether you're involved in municipal planning, environmental management, or community water projects, their research outputs and advisory capacity provide the foundation that transforms water challenges from overwhelming problems into solvable ones.
