70 people were trained in water -wise farming techniques and food security, in Mamelodi.
The training formed part of Nelson Mandela Day, where Rand Water partnered with the Jewish National Fund, the Walter Sisulu Training Centre, the South African landscape Institute (SALI), the City of Tshwane, and Afgri.
Rand Water said in a statement, trainees were equipped with practical skills and knowledge to grow their own food sustainably.
“A major focus of the event was exploring alternative sources of water supply for community gardens, emphasizing the critical importance of water conservation in the face of increasing water scarcity. Workshops and demonstrations highlighted simple, yet effective ways to capture, store and reuse water, including rainwater harvesting and greywater systems, empowering participants to manage this vital resource more efficiently.”
