Ikwezi Municipality Drought Relief Project Ikwezi Mayor Hon. Sizwe Mngwevu started this initiative for the poorer members of the communities of Jansenville, Kliplaat and Waterford in July of 2006. The project, now about to move into its fourth phase has seen the delivery and installation of over 1 800 rainwater tanks complete taps and catchment kits (gutters and down pipes standardised to fit the homes of the community without modification). Hydro Dynamics became involved as the successful tenderer for the supply of the rainwater tanks for the project. From this point onwards we have been assisting with the design of the catchment kits, tank bases and tap systems that are used throughout the project. This was our first large scale project and by far the most successful, we are proud to be associated with the project and the members of the Ikwezi Municipality Staff and community. Ikwezi Municipality Community Water House Project This project is very special to us as it was an opportuntity to give back to a community that has supported us well over the past several years. When we were approached by Dr. Konrad Soyez of the University of Potsdam, Germany, about a suitable location for a project to recycle grey water and allow a community access to washing, showering, flush toilets and many other benefits we could think of no place in more need that this small municipality in the middle of the drought stricken Karoo. A meeting between the German partners, Hydro Dynamics and other role players was set up and the members of the Ikwezi Council agreed to accept the project into their community. The Water House has been completed and is now in its running in phase. A final ceremony to open the building to all the community is being planned for the near future. This is a pilot project that we hope will prove successful and be implemented in the many other municipalities throughout South Africa who are struggling every day to find sufficient safe water supply for their communities. Rietbron - Cacadu District Municipality Drought Relief Project The Rietbron Drought Relief Project was a spin off from the Ikwezi Project. Members of the planning and implementation team from the Cacadu DM were in Ikwezi and saw how well their rainwater harvesting was working for them and decided to pursue the same idea within other areas in their municipality. Hydro Dynamics was again contacted to assist in the planning and supply of tanks and catchment kits for this project. To date the project has seen completion of phase 2 with over 400 complete systems now installed.
