Towards a groundwater source and aquifer protection zoning policy in South Africa: Assessment of the legal, socio-economic and institutional arrangements
(University of Western Cape, 2009)
The need for a fundamental change in our approach to water management in South Africa
is largely underpinned by the country's Constitution (Act 108 of 1996). Section 24 in
Chapter 2 of the Constitution is perhaps the ...
Hydraulic properties of the vadose zone at two typical sites in the Western Cape for the assessment of groundwater vulnerability to pollution
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Aquifer vulnerability assessment is increasingly becoming a very significant basis in order to fulfill the water demands in South Africa. Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties that consists of the soil water retention and ...
Groundwater resource evaluation in Table Mountain group aquifer systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Table Muntain Group has been identified as one of the major Regional Aquifers in South Africa. the vast distribution of it leads to a great diversity in its hydrogeological properties, which influences the dynamics of ...
Regional groundwater monitoring in the Olifants-Doorn water management area
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The aim of this investigation was to provide a framework or strategy for prioritising and implementing regional groundwater monitoring in the Olifants-Doorn Water Management (WMA) area. The general approach was to attempt ...
The hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Incomati Estuary
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The focus of this work was to monitor and evaluate the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in the Incomati Estuary for a period of one year. The aims of this work were to evaluate the groundwater chemistry ...
A water balance approach to groundwater recharge estimation in Montagu area of the Western Klein Karoo
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The Western Klein Karoo-Montagu area is located in the mid-eastern of the Western Cape Province , South Africa. In most of the study areas within semi-arid climatic zone , groundwater plays an important role in meeting ...
A geographic information systems approach to the identification of Table Mountain group aquifer "type areas" of ecological importance
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The Table Mountain group aquifer system has the potential to be an important supply of water. Although the aquifer system is used to some extent, a number of aspects relating to the aquifer system are poorly understood and ...
Development of a gas chromatographic technique for the analysis of some groundwater contaminants from fuel leaks and its application in a site-specific study
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
This study focuses on the development of a Direct Aqueous Injection Gas Chromatographic method with Flame Ionization Detection (DAI-GC/FID) for the analysis of MTBE and TBA. The analytical method was then applied in a site ...
An approach to groundwater targeting in the Springbok region, central Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Namaqualand is a semi-arid region where water is not only a necessity and basic need, but also very much a luxury. As a consequence, various studies were undertaken to find water sources, whether surface or groundwater, ...
