3-D Seismic structural interpretation : insights to thrust faulting and paleo-stress field distribution in the deep offshore Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Orange Basin provides exceptional 3-D structures of folds and faults generated during soft-sediment slumping and deformation which is progressive in nature. 3-D seismic and structural evaluation techniques have been ...
Assessing the relationship between youth capabilities and food security : a case study of a rainwater harvesting project
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The National Water Act of 1998 provides the policy framework for stakeholder participation and the engagement of stakeholders closest to the resource on which they depend to be involved in developing and managing their ...
Sedimentological re-interpretation of the early cretaceous oil reservoir in the Northern Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
This study was aimed at determining the sedimentary environment, its evolution and facies areal distribution of the Upper Shallow Marine (USM, Late Valanginian). The study was conducted in wells E-S1, F-AH4 and E-W1 in the ...
Petrophysical evaluation and characterization of sandstone reservoirs of the western Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa for well D-D1 and E-AP1
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Bredasdorp Basin was formed consequent to extensional episodes during the initial stages of rifting in the Jurassic age. The basin acted as a local depocentre and was primarily infilled with late Jurassic and early ...
Investigating subsurface heterogeneities and its impact on the variation in interval velocities : implications to velocity modelling in the Bredasdorp basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Velocity modelling forms an integral part of the seismic interpretation process initially completed in two-way time. In order for a representative depth conversion, it is obligatory to construct a velocity model that serves ...
The effects of water transfer from Swakoppoort and Omatako Dams on the water quality of Von Bach Dam, Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In the Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia, water is transferred from Swakoppoort and Omatako Dams into Von Bach Dam to limit evaporation losses and bring water closer to the purification plant. There is a gap in the knowledge ...
Analysis of the structural geology of the high-grade metamorphic rocks in part of the Kakamas terrane of an area adjacent to the Neusspruit shear zone South of the orange river, Northern Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
The Proterozoic Namaqua-Natal Province comprises highly deformed rocks of medium to high grade metamorphism and is bordering the Archean Kaapvaal Craton to the west, south and east in South Africa. The sector to the west ...
Determination of groundwater-surface water interaction, upper Berg River catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The present study investigated the application of a multi-method approach to determine groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interactions to quantify and characterize the quality of water resources in a fractured rock aquifer ...
Assessment of water service delivery in the municipalities of City of Tshwane, City of Cape Town and Ethekwini
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Access to water and water scarcity are the most critical impediments to sustainable development in municipal water provision. Good water and sanitation services are essential for health, economic development, and environmental ...
Characterization of joints in the Keimoes suite with respect to Namaqua deformation events
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The Keimoes Suite is a group of poorly defined granitoids that characterize the Namaqua Front and Foreland zones. There is a lack of knowledge on its content and distribution. A significant amount of work has been done on ...
