This will be accomplished by WSSAs by developing and implementing their own quality monitoring programs for water supply and wastewater effluent. The overall objective is to ensure that the WSSAs meet the National Water Quality and Wastewater Discharge Standards for the wellbeing and safety of the people. Specifically, the guidelines are intended to: (i) Provide guidance to WSSAs in the steps involved in preparation of their own monitoring programmes; (ii) Provide guidance on how WSSAs should integrate climate risks and issues into monitoring activities (Climate Change Resilient WSSAs); (iii) Provide guidance to WSSAs in the implementation of Climate Resilience – Water Safety Plans; and (iv) Provide quick reference for all stakeholders in issues related to water and wastewater quality monitoring activities in the country.
