Final answer:

This answer explains potable water, Sasol's water use trend, environmental impacts, and practical strategies for water management.

Explanation:

Potable water is water that is safe for human consumption, free from harmful contaminants. Municipalities should ensure safe water availability in communities to prevent waterborne diseases and promote public health.

The water use trend in Sasol shows an increase due to industrial processes like cooling, cleaning, and production.

Environmental impacts of large river water usage for industry include habitat destruction, water pollution, altered water flow, and reduced water quality.

To help Tongaat community, eThekwini Municipality could implement rainwater harvesting systems to provide alternative water sources, promote water conservation education to reduce usage, and invest in water treatment facilities to ensure water quality.
