WATER INSTITUTE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The Kingfisher from the former Institute of Water Pollution Control has been retained as a dominant feature but has a fish in its mouth instead of a sword thus indicating a need for fresh water resources. This is further confirmed by the motto Aqua Vita Est, which means Water is Life.
The black area of the design represents polluted water containing bubbles of rising gas. The bridge represents mans intervention leading to the production of clean water depicted by the wavy lines beneath the bridge. The design alludes to a Cape Dutch Gable thus reinforcing the South African sphere of operation.
