Abstract

Good water governance needs to ensure, amongst others, the sustainability of water resources. Sustainability needs to be secured by optimising economic and social goals whilst safeguarding the rights of future generations. In developing a water governance framework it is imperative to understand the perceptions of society in order to determine which portions of the framework are acceptable and those which will require more effort to overcome current perceptions. In safeguarding the resource for its enjoyment by future generations it is worth understanding, even at this stage, youth perceptions in the light that they will be the leaders of tomorrow and the core of society. To this effect a national survey was undertaken and 13 statements demonstrate statistical significance amongst youths. These are analysed with a view towards better understanding the perception of youths towards the economic aspect of water.
