BACKGROUND
Water is considered the most precious and, at the same time, the most wasted natural resource. From a trade and industry perspective, water and sanitation are intertwined with technology, industrial and economicdevelopment. Water security and access to modern water and sanitation services rely on technology and industrial development, while industrial development, and more broadly, economic development, depend on water security and modern water and sanitation services. The centrality of water and sanitation drives a spectrum of activities to provide safe, affordable and modern access to water and sanitation services to all. This Development Dialogue aims to discuss the interplay between South Africa's industrial development and water management, looking at water and sanitation issues in the country as both a potential inhibitor and driver of industrial development, employment creation and sustainable development.
