NWRI: MANDATE
The Department of Water Affairs of the Republic of South Africa through the National Water
Resources Infrastructure Branch (NWRIB) strives to ensure a reliable supply of water from
water resources infrastructure, with acceptable risk, to meet sustainable national, regional,
social, economic and environmental objectives for all South African citizens.
While achieving this, the NWRIB will solicit and source funding to implement, operate and
maintain water resources infrastructure in an efficient and effective manner.
The Department through the NWRIB also aims to provide bulk raw water through world-class
water resources infrastructure towards the sustainable socio-economic development of South
Africa.
The management of existing water resources infrastructure, including the construction of new
infrastructure will increase the capacity for water security and availability.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The NWRIB is part of government, which is a brand that reflects the ideals of our South
African democracy. This should be reflected in every aspect of how we conduct our
business, in our contact with people and the appearance of the institution and staff.
In most of the infrastructure sites and offices, signage items still carry the old logo, which
includes Forestry (the then DWAF) and some have old government emblems used pre1994. Some signage items are faded, broken, vandalised or outdated.
Changes to the Government Corporate Identity require that all government departments
comply with the correct application of the National Coat-of-Arms. With the above in mind,
the NWRIB needs to rebrand, traversing its entire scope of operations/clusters and
construction sites by implementing the correct application of the National Coat of Arms as
prescribed by the National Government Corporate Identity Guidelines
