Listen "Running out of water"
Episode Synopsis
Does the answer to South Africa’s water shortage problems lie in mining the salt from our rivers?
There aren’t many people more knowledgeable (or passionate) about South Africa’s natural and man-made freshwater resources than Professor Anthony Turton. He’s dedicated decades to researching our water, and is currently involved in the development and rollout of cutting-edge technologies with a focus of solving our water issues. And he’s found a potential solution to both our economic and water woes: mining our increasingly saline rivers for salt, creating jobs and producing potable water.
Water is a vital economic enabler, and for Anthony, investing in new technologies and fixing up the water sector is paramount for job creation and moving towards a circular beneficiation economy.
