The Kars has a well-defined channel along the 62 km stretch from its sources in the Bredasdorp Mountains. After entering the Agulhas plain which has a very low gradient, this river changes into a triangular shaped wetland. ...
The morphodynamic characteristics of erosional headcuts in Palmiet (Prionium serratum) wetlands
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Gully erosion and headcut migration has been at the crux of wetland degradation in South Africa. The resulting erosion and draining effect has seen more than 50% of wetlands in the country degraded. This study investigated ...
An assessment of river and wetland morphology dynamics using geospatial techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Land surface modification has intensified in recent years, and it continues to be an ongoing process. This raises serious concerns about changes in land use and land cover (LULC) since some of these changes have led to ...
