Recently a trio of entrepreneurs announced an incredible solution for the world’s resource problems: turn the Sahara desert into a source for food, water, and energy. The Sahara Forest Project (.PDF) is a solution that combines seemingly disparate technologies – Concentrated solar power and Seawater Greenhouses – and turns them into a mean, green super-massive biomachine. The elegant system could potentially produce enough energy for all of Africa and Europe while turning one of the world’s most inhospitable regions into a flourishing oasis.

DWINDLING DAM: The low level of the Bongolo Dam which has plunged Queenstown into a water crisis. Picture: ALAN EASON

2010/03/08  The worsening water crisis in Queenstown has reached such catastrophic levels that there is only one month left before the city’s Bongolo Dam dries up.

Queenstown businesses claimed that the dire water situation could result in lower production levels, which would ultimately lead to job cuts.

The Bongolo Dam level currently stands at a paltry 28 percent and was a last resort for Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM) after Waterdown Dam, the main supplier to the city and surrounding areas, could not deliver water due to a faulty valve last week.

As water conservation specialists we would like to commend the city of Cape Town for instituting such wide spread and innovative water saving measures at the new stadium in Green Point.  Although there are no plans in place for the reuse of Grey Water for toilet flushing we nevertheless appreciate the sentiment of capturing and reusing rainwater.  Now its up to ordinary citizens of Cape Town to pick up where the developers of the stadium have left off.  The standard has been set-rainwater harvesting is definitely a viable option.  Need a quote? Read on for the rationale behind these forward thinking developments.

During the conceptual design phase of the Green Point Common redevelopment, the issue of alternative water sources for irrigation of this 69 hectare open space was highlighted. In 2008, the City of Cape Town (CoCT) commissioned Arcus Gibb to undertake a feasibility study of alternative water sources for irrigation as opposed to the use of potable water, which had been used previously. The study investigated among other things desalinisation, feasibility of boreholes, greywater treatment, rainwater harvesting and the harvesting of spring water from the slopes of Table Mountain. The study concluded that the harvesting of spring water from the Oranjezicht Springs was the most cost-effective way to reduce the use of potable water for the irrigation of the Common. The spring water is not potable, and will require treatment to meet drinking water standards.
