Of special importance is the coordination between land-related and water-related sectors because freshwater ecosystems are affected by activities that happen throughout their drainage areas (Linke et al. 2007)enFreshwater ecosystemsSouth AfricaCross-sector policyWater resources managementBiodiversity conservationLand-use managementAgricultural resourcesConservation biologyArticleRoux, D., Ashton, P., Nel, J., & Mackay, H.
