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.
