The large quantity of bio-degradable waste may hold possibilities for composting and even biogas generation in future. Constraints The current lack of resources, especially financial and human resources puts pressure on the !Kheis to render adequate waste management services. Issues An Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) is in the process of being developed for Siyanda and its local municipalities. This Plan needs to be aligned with the IDP of !Kheis There is uncontrolled illegal dumping in places. Illegal dumping impacts on the sensitive economic sectors such as tourism. Illegal dumping is also a concern in sensitive environments. Dissatisfaction of the refuse removal services is prevalent. Energy Opportunities Due to the climate of the area there is huge potential to utilise solar energy more widely, especially in the remote areas of the district. Constraints The small communities in sparsely populated areas make effective distribution of electricity very difficult in some areas. Issues The main issues in respect to electricity supply are: In areas not supplied with electricity, candles and wood remains the main energy sources; the strong reliance on wood is not sustainable over the long term and can lead to the overexploitation of especially Camel Thorn trees in the area; and alternative energy sources are not utilised to potential in the area. The long term sustainability of service delivery to isolated small populations is an issue that will have to be dealt with at some point. The main environmental issues that may cause negative impacts in !Kheis and have to be addressed includes: the protection of vegetative groundcover across the area against overgrazing and other activities such as 4x4 and quad bike driving; the effect that inappropriate irrigation may have on the salination of soil in places; the provision of services, especially water, to small populations in remote areas that may be unsustainable over the long term;
