Sasol uses about 4 percent of the catchment yield; municipalities use approximately 30 percent, of which water losses can be as high as 45 percent of urban use because of the aging infrastructure (Greenwood et al. 2012). Sasol has approached a number of municipalities to implement water conservation initiatives (Greenwood et al. 2012). One such project used Sasol funds to adjust the pressure management system within a township, reducing water leakage in off-peak hours and boosting water supply.
It must be recognized, however, that companies have always engaged in water policy, and given the very significant challenges facing global water security, dogmatic stances for or against corporate engagement not only fail to reflect reality but also are likely to be counterproductive (Hepworth and Orr 2013). Instead, these tensions and questions should underscore the need to strengthen positive incentives for responsible and sustainable private sector action and to begin a meaningful discussion on what that can and should look like.
