What this means

This is the Water Research Commission's 'Corporate Brochures' web page, consisting mostly of site navigation plus an overview extract from the WRC Corporate Plan 2018/19–2022/23 (CP18). The overview argues that climate and weather conditions have moved to a 'new normal' — citing the recent severe El Niño, record heat and the Western Cape's worst drought in 100 years — and that CP18 responds with a solution-oriented research agenda rather than lamenting the change. It stresses that managing South Africa's limited water resources well, through research, development and innovation, is essential for community health, development, cohesion and economic activity.
