For corporations seeking to expand their business in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, water poses both a risk to be mitigated and an opportunity to be explored. For governments, the way that the scarce resource is managed will determine the future wellbeing of the many millions of citizens of the region, by enabling economic growth and prosperity to occur in spite of the fundamental hydrological limits imposed by Nature (what the World Bank calls being held “hostage to hydrology”). For schools, colleges and universities, the way they educate the next generation of citizen, consumer, researcher and entrepreneur, there are many opportunities.
