NATIONAL WATER ACT<br />
Secondly, s 19 of the NWA obliges any person (i.e. not only those who<br />
hold a water use authorization) who has occupied or used land on<br />
which any activity or process was performed that caused (or is likely<br />
to cause) pollution of a water resource, to take all reasonable<br />
measures to prevent such pollution from occurring, continuing or<br />
recurring. Where a person fails to take such measures, the relevant<br />
catchment management agency may direct that specified reasonable<br />
measures be taken.<br />
Where a person fails to comply with such a directive, the catchment<br />
management agency can carry out such reasonable measures as are<br />
required and recover the costs from the person responsible.
