Acknowledgements
I would like to thank Marius Claassen for involving me in the Water Sustainability Flagship project and for encouraging me to develop PULSE3. The framework would not have been possible without a number of field trips undertaken for the project. Karen Nortje, Elliot Moyo, Nikki Funke, Winile Masangane, Cebile Ntombela, and Shanna Nienaber played varying roles in organising the field trips to the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality. The field trips to the wastewater treatment plants gave valuable insight into the interaction between humans and the environment. Karen Nortje encouraged me to tell the story of my research journey (see appendix 1). I am also grateful to Inga Jacobs-Mata and Reyhana Mahomed for helping me in better communicating the PULSE3 framework for analysis to different audiences. During sessions where we discussed the framework, I realised just how difficult it can be to communicate one’s scientific knowledge a
