As part of AQMRC’s involvement in the recently launched International Water Security Network project (in which Enda and Rose have a work strand investigating the water-energy-carbon nexus), Enda visited Durban and Pietermaritzburg for stakeholder meetings and workshops. Enda had the opportunity to meet with Durban Municipality to explore their participation as a case study, spend time with project collaborator, Duncan Hay, to learn more about current and future challenges facing the Umgeni River catchment and attend the Umgeni Ecological Infrastructure Partnership Workshop.
