ProposalDescription: 

Envirolution Consulting was appointed by Fourth Element Consulting on behalf of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) to undertake a Basic Assessment process and Water Use License for the proposed rehabilitation of the erosion channel in the Kaalspruit wetland in Clayville, in the northern region of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng Province. Urban development and densification in the Kaalspruit catchment and associated socio-economic led activities resulted in changes of the stream flow in the river. As a result, stream flows have changed the stability of the river channel and high sediment loads, litter and sewage pollution have had both local and downstream impacts on the Hennops River and Centurion Lake. Complaints arising caused the Department of Water and Sanitation to issue a Directive to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality to address the Kaalspruit catchment problems. This Directive issued by the Department of Water & Sanitation (DWS, 2013) provides impetus for the project

Expanded_Motivation: 

This scheme aims to mitigate problems experienced in the downstream Olifantspruit and Hennops River arising from the sediment, pollution and litter loads from the Kaalspruit catchment. It is the first of the initiatives developed in terms of the DWS Directive and is expected to be supplemented by other catchment initiatives over time. The scheme will see a substantial improvement in water quality leaving the Kaalspruit catchment, and this should improve further as the additional catchment initiatives come online and take effect.
