The Water Use guideline is designed for households in rural areas with varying levels of access to water infrastructure. It targets four groups based on their water availability, including those relying on communal collection points or standpipes, as well as households with private water sources such as springs or boreholes. The guideline aims to assist community members, especially in regions like Limpopo, where water supply can be unreliable, by helping them optimize water use for household needs, small livestock, gardens, and small businesses. It is meant to promote sustainable water management across all households, regardless of their access to water resources.
