Rhodes to host workshop with Makhanda residents on water crisis
JOHANNESBURG - Rhodes University along with its Director of the Institute for Water Research will be hosting workshop where the IWR team will facilitate a process for residents of drought-stricken Makhanda to collaborate on how to overcome the water crisis currently facing the Eastern Cape town.
"The acute anxiety and impatience around water has mainly produced anger, blame and divisions. If we share knowledge and perspectives, and appreciate the magnitude of our water challenge, we can transform destructive divisive blame into greater tolerance and committed, effective, collective action." In recognition of her engaged research, Palmer received the 2018 Vice Chancellor's Distinguished Award for Community Engagement.
