Ngokukhula ngokushesha kwamadolobha, ukwanda kwabantu, kanye nezimboni, izindawo zokukhuculula indle emhlabeni wonke zibhekene nezinselele ezingakaze zibonwe ngaphambili.
Unyaka nonyaka, kukhiqizwa indle engu-380 billion m3, kanti lesi sibalo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuphuke ngo-24% ngo-2030.
Njengoba umthamo wendle ukhula, siyanda nesidingo sezixazululo ezisebenzayo zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile.
Kodwa-ke, enye yezimbangela ezinkulu zokukhathazeka ezikhungweni zokukhuculula indle ukungasebenzi kahle kwamagciwane omdabu ekwelapheni indle ngokuphephile.
Lokhu kungasebenzi kahle kubeka engcupheni yokubhebhetheka kwezifo kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo, ikakhulukazi lapho indle ehlanziwe iphinde isetshenziselwe ukugeza kanye nezinjongo zokulima.
Chofoza ngenhla ukuze uhlole izixazululo zethu zokuhlanza amanzi alahlwe yindle futhi uthathe isinyathelo esibheke kuhlanzekile kusasa.
Ukuhlanzwa kwamanzi angcolile kulandela izigaba ezi-3 zokwelashwa okuyisisekelo, ukwelashwa kwesibili, nokwelashwa kwemfundo ephakeme.
Ukwelashwa okuyinhloko kuhilela ukukhishwa kwezinto eziqinile ezimisiwe ngezinqubo zomzimba, ukwelashwa kwesibili kuhilela ukucekelwa phansi kwezinto eziphilayo, futhi inqubo ephakeme ihilela ukwelashwa kokugcina kanye nokubulala amagciwane ukuze kuqedelwe ngokuphephile ukugezwa kwamanzi angcolile ngaphambi kokukhululwa.
