ZINWA
The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) is a wholly Government-owned entity formed in 2000 following the promulgation of the ZINWA Act (Chapter 20:25). ZINWA falls under the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement. Its mandate is derived from the ZINWA Act (Chapter 20:25) and the Water Act (Chapter 20:24).
ZINWA has the mandate to sustainably and efficiently plan, develop and manage the country’s water resources. This entails the construction of water storage and conveyance infrastructure, management of groundwater resources and the equitable distribution of the country’s surface water held in the various dams around Zimbabwe. In
addition, ZINWA also runs 534 water treatment plants that supply potable water to small towns, rural service centres and growth points.
