Delineation of groundwater protection zone in a fractured rock aquifer setting: A case study of Rawsonville
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is considering the implementation of an Aquifer Protection Strategy to protect the country’s critical groundwater resources. This study will assist in filling the knowledge gap ...
Developing a hydrogeological conceptual model for subterranean groundwater control areas using remote sensing techniques, Hout catchment, Limpopo, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Crystalline basement aquifers are an important source of water supply in sub-Saharan Africa for various purposes. These aquifers are characterized by fractured rock networks which form pathways for groundwater recharge, ...
Investigating the role of groundwater - surface water connectivity in supporting non-perennial river systems, Sandveld, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers are characterised by a discontinuous and variable hydrological flow regime which may retreat to form isolated pools along the watercourse during prolonged dry periods. The resulting spatio-temporal ...
Hydrogeophysical characterization of coastal aquifers for solution-based modeling, West Coast, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The need to improve groundwater security remains critical especially in urban areas where demand for groundwater as an alternative source of water supply increases. Declining trends in availability of surface water because ...
