ON•TAP responds to the urban challenge

ON•TAP, along with many environmentally water conscious South Africans, will celebrate World Water Day at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 22 March 2011.

The World Water Day event, Water for the Cities - Responding to the Urban Challenge, will focus on the improvement of water management of our cities in the modern day and age.

Statistically speaking, one out of two people live in a city, while city populations keep growing. The problem is, investments in infrastructure have not kept up with the increasing rate of urbanisation, resulting in unstable water management.

The solution comes in the form of integrated urban management, starting at home so to speak. By emphasising increased recycling and reuse of water and waste, the World Water Day advocates sustainable management of freshwater resources.

Key issues that will be discussed during the event from 20 to 22 March, will include the growing urban water and sanitation demand; increased pollution from municipal and industrial discharges; climate change and its unforeseen risks and challenges; the over exploitation of available water resources, as well as better targeting of the urban poor.

World Water Day is a unique occasion to remind South Africans that solutions are possible. The Cape Town leg of the event is hosted by the South African Government, in collaboration with UN-Water and other concerned UN Entities (UNSGAB, UNEP, UN-HABITAT), as well as the African Ministers' Council on Water.

Join ON•TAP and support World Water Day at CTICC 22 March 2011.

Clean water fuels clean living


ON•TAP supported the World Plumbing Council's official World Plumbing Day on 11 March 2011.

Clean water should not be seen as a luxury, but as a necessity. The World Plumbing Council wants to emphasise that plumbing is essential to the health of people, and also their environment (and the planet as a whole). This year's World Plumbing Day theme is Plumbing Vital to Global Health.

In a published text from 1876, the plumber is described as someone with the same status as the doctor, because of the plumber's contribution to the good health of people.

Although, in parts of the world where plumbing systems are developed, people often neglect the importance of what they are so privileged to experience. Thus, the plumbing industry is taken for granted.

If you think about it, there is not a single person on this planet that will not benefit from having access to good plumbing. Let's focus on the importance of an industry that gives us so much to be thankful for and support them as they have supported our glasses of clean, drinkable water over the years.
