Beyond Water Quality and Quantity: A Typology towards Understanding Water Security in South Africa -- Chapter 5. Towards an Individual-centred Water Security Theory. 330 $aThis book provides unique insights into the complex issue of water security in South Africa. Based on qualitative research conducted through face-to-face structured interviews and focus group discussions with individuals, traditional leaders, municipal officials, researchers, businesspeople and farmers in the two local governments ? the Sekhukhune District and eThekwini Metropolitan Municipalities ? it focuses on the peoples? understanding of the concept of water security and whether they believe that the municipalities have achieved water security for all. The research is supported by water security-related statistics, particularly those pertaining to water quality and quantity, and an extensive literature review for the concept of water security. In addition to assessing the state of water security in both municipalities, the book presents a new water security definition and typology, and offers valuable recommendations for future research. 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEconomic development?Environmental aspects 606 $aEnvironment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X36000 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aEnvironmental Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33040 606 $aDevelopment and Sustainability$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913110 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEconomic development?Environmental aspects. 615 14$aEnvironment Studies. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment and Sustainability. 676 $a363.61091732 676 $a363.610968 702 $aMeissner$b Richard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFunke$b Nikki$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNortje$b Karen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSteyn$b Maronel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367616103321 996 $aUnderstanding Water Security at Local Government Level in South Africa$92517261 997 $aUNINA
