Groundwater is a relatively small component of South Africa's water resources accounting for approximately 15% percent of South Africa's water consumption (DWAF 2002). Unfortunately, this statistic is overshadowed by the fact that close to 65% of the population and more than 300 towns are entirely dependent upon this resources for their domestics water supply.
