The document outlines the South African System of National Accounts (SNA) and the System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA), explaining their frameworks for measuring economic activity and environmental interactions. It emphasizes the SEEA's relevance for water resource accounting, detailing how it provides comprehensive statistics on water flows, stocks, and uses, while integrating economic and environmental information. The SEEA's flexible nature allows countries to adapt it to their priorities, facilitating better policy formulation and analysis.

- 13. The South Africa I know, the home I understand Accounting for water resources. Water is in continuous movement through precipitation, evaporation, run-off, infiltration and flows to the sea. Asset accounts for water resources focus on the inflows and outflows to and from the land surface and subsurface, and on the destination of these flows. In conjunction with information on in-stream uses of water and seasonal variation, such a focus allows assessment of the availability of water to meet demand of the economy and to assess consistency with the sustainability of water supply.
