Ukulawulwa kodaka kanye nosayizi wemakethe yokukhipha amanzi kulindeleke ukuthi kufinyelele ku-USD 3.88 billion ngo-2030 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule ku-CAGR ka-2.1% ukusuka ngo-2024 kuya ku-2030.
Singahlinzeka ngezinzwa zokuqapha indle, futhi sinezinzwa zekhwalithi yamanzi ezifanele izimo ezihlukahlukene zohlelo lokusebenza, wamukelekile ukuvakashela
Ukwakhiwa kwalezi zikhungo ezintsha zokuhlanza kwenziwa ukuze kusingathwe umthamo omkhulu wodaka namanzi angcolile akhiqizwa izindawo zokuhlala, ezentengiselwano, nezimboni. Lokhu, futhi, kulindeleke ukuthi kube nomthelela esidingweni sokulawulwa kodaka kanye nokukhipha amanzi e-US esikhathini sokubikezela.
Inani elikhulayo labantu e-US linomthelela esidingweni sezindawo ezintsha zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile. Njengoba inani labantu landa, umthamo wamanzi angcolile akhiqizwayo nawo uyakhuphuka ngokulinganayo. Abantu abaningi basho imisebenzi eminingi yokuhlala, yezohwebo, neyezimboni. Zonke lezi zici zinomthelela ekwandeni kokukhiqizwa kwamanzi angcolile ezweni. Kunokwanda kokuqwashisa komphakathi mayelana nokuvikelwa kwemvelo kanye nokusimama. Lokhu kushintsha komphakathi kuphokophela izinqubo ezivumelana nemvelo ezengeziwe ekulawuleni imfucuza, okuhlanganisa ukugaywa kabusha kanye nokusetshenziswa kabusha kodaka kwezolimo nokuhlelwa kwezindawo, okuqhubeza phambili ukukhula kwemakethe.
Imithethonqubo kanye namazinga abekwe uhulumeni wobumbano mayelana nokulawulwa kodaka, kube nesidingo esikhulayo sezinsizakalo zokulawulwa kodaka. I-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ibeke izindinganiso eziqinile zokulawulwa kodaka, futhi imithethonqubo eminingi nayo iphasiswe nguhulumeni ukuze iqaphe futhi ikhuthaze izinqubo zokulawula udaka.
Isibonelo, i-Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation (i-BIL) ihlose ukusekela umnotho wendawo futhi isebenzise izinhlelo ezikhona zengqalasizinda zikahulumeni ukubhekana nesidingo sengqalasizinda yokuhlanza amanzi angcolile ezifundeni ezinganakekelwa kahle zezwe.
Ukufudukela kwabantu emadolobheni okuqhubekayo nakho kuholela ekukhuleni kwesidingo sokulawulwa kwamanzi angcolile. Ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi, ukulahlwa okungafanele kodaka kungaholela ezingozini ezinkulu zempilo, okuhlanganisa nokusabalala kwezifo. Njengoba inani elikhulu labantu lihlala ezindaweni eziminyene, imfuneko yokwelashwa okusebenzayo kwamanzi angcolile iba semqoka. Ukulawulwa kodaka okusebenzayo kuqinisekisa ukulahlwa okuphephile noma ukusetshenziswa kabusha kodaka, ngaleyo ndlela kuvikela impilo yomphakathi.
Ngokusekelwe esigabeni, ingxenye yemisebenzi yokwelapha ephethwe umphakathi (i-POTW) ihole imakethe ngesabelo esikhulu semali engenayo esingu-75.7% ngo-2023. Le misebenzi yakhelwe ukuhlanza indle yasekhaya. Baqoqa amanzi angcolile emithonjeni ehlukahlukene futhi bahlanganisa noma imaphi amadivaysi namasistimu asetshenziselwa ukugcinwa, ukwelashwa, nokulahlwa kwamanzi angcolile kamasipala noma wezimboni kanye nodaka.
Ingxenye yezikhungo eziku-inthanethi kulindeleke ukuthi ifakaze ku-CAGR eshesha kakhulu esikhathini sokubikezela, ngenxa yokwabiwa kwezinhlelo zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile. Ukwanda kwabantu bezwe kanye nokufudukela kwabantu emadolobheni okuqhubekayo kubhebhezela imfuneko yezixazululo zasendaweni zokuphatha udaka kanye nokukhipha amanzi, ezilula futhi ezingabizi kakhulu.
Ngokusekelwe emthonjeni, ingxenye kamasipala ihole imakethe ngesabelo esikhulu semali engenayo esingama-51.70% ngo-2023. Enye yezinto ezihamba phambili zengxenye kamasipala ukwanda kwesidingo sezinsizakalo zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile ezindaweni zasemadolobheni. Njengoba amadolobha anda kanye neminyaka yengqalasizinda, kunesidingo esikhulu sokwelashwa okusebenzayo kwamanzi angcolile ukuze kuvikelwe impilo yomphakathi kanye nemvelo
Ingxenye yezimboni kulindeleke ukuthi ifakaze ku-CAGR eshesha kakhulu esikhathini sokubikezela, njengoba izimboni ziya ngokuya zitshala imali ekuphathweni kodaka kanye nobuchwepheshe bokukhipha amanzi ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle nokunciphisa imithelela yemvelo kanye nokuhlola amathuba okusetshenziswa kabusha okuzuzisayo kanye nokubuyiswa kwezinsiza ezidakamizweni.
