Determining crop coefficients for irrigated fruit tree crops using readily available data sources
Mashabatu, Munashe (University of the Western Cape, 2022)The climate variability and climate change-induced events experienced worldwide have caused a significant decrease in the rainfall volume. South Africa is considered to be one of the driest countries in the world, as it ... -
Multispectral remote sensing of vegetation responses to groundwater variability in the greater floristic region of the Western Cape, South Africa
Chiloane, Chantel Nthabiseng (University of Western Cape, 2021)Groundwater dependent vegetation (GDV) communities are increasingly threatened by the transformation of the natural environment to different land use/land cover, over-exploitation of groundwater resources and the proliferation ... -
Remote sensing and multispectral imaging of hydrological responses to land use/land cover and climate variability in contrasting agro-ecological systems in Mountainous catchment, Western Cape
Govender, Tanushri (University of the Western Cape, 2022)Water is a fundamental resource and key in the provision of energy, food and health. However, water resources are currently under severe pressure as a consequence of climate change and variability, population growth and ... -
Spatial characterization of vegetation diversity with satellite remote sensing in the khakea-bray transboundary aquifer
Mpakairi, Kudzai Shaun (University of Western Cape, 2022)There have been increasing calls to monitor Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) more effectively, since they are biodiversity hotspots that provide several ecosystem services. The accurate monitoring of GDEs is an ... -
Spatial modelling of invasive species distribution in water-limited environments using remotely sensed data and climatic scenarios in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
Mtengwana, Bhongolethu (University of Western Cape, 2020)The occurrence and spread of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) is a threat to global water resources and natural ecosystems due to high water use rates. With the current climate change projections and their ability to survive ... -
The use of remote sensing data for assessing water quality in wetlands within the Limpopo River Basin
Dzurume, Tatenda (University of the Western Cape, 2021)Wetlands are unique ecosystems that are acknowledged among the world’s most productive and valuable ecosystems. They are recognized as being essential to sustainable development and human welfare due to their unique ...
