Assessment of sustainable groundwater utilization with case studies from semi-arid Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The thesis addresses sustainability of groundwater utilization in arid and semiarid regions of Namibia. Recharge in this hydrogeological setting occurs as discrete events to aquifers that are bounded in extent. Case studies ...
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 ...
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 ...
Characterization of flowpaths to improve the prediction of vegetation impacts on hydrological processes in semi-arid mountainous catchments of the Cape Fold Belt
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Mountainous areas are important water sources in many landscapes. An understanding of
how mountainous catchments function is important particularly in semi-arid areas, where
water shortages are prevalent. In addition to ...
GIS and remote sensing-based integrated modelling of climate and land use change impacts on groundwater quality: Cape Flats Aquifer, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The need to ensure groundwater security is vital, particularly in urban areas. Assessing the impact of land use and climate variables on groundwater quality can help improve sustainable management. The vulnerability mapping ...
Geological and hydrgeological characteristics of acid mine drainage from an abandoned coal mine: A case study of Shandi coal mine in Niangziguan spring catchment, Shanxi
(University of Western Cape, 2022)
As Shanxi Province is rich in coal resources, the output of raw coal approximately
accounts for one quarter of China's production. It is one of the most important energy and
heavy chemical bases and plays a significant ...
Streamflow generating mechanisms in a mountainous Jonkershoek catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The Jonkershoek valley catchment in a mountain region that forms the headwaters of the Eerste River, which contributes water to the Cape Winelands District Municipality and parts of the City of Cape Town in the Western ...
Applicability of big data analytics to support groundwater management in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Groundwater is a vital resources for member states in the Southern African Development
Community (SADC). However, sustainable managing groundwater resources in SADC
is a challenge. Amongst the many issues facing groundwater ...
