Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using sequence stratigraphy, geological structures and diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Sandstone and shale samples were selected within the systems tracts for laboratory analyses. The sidewall and core samples were subjected to petrographic thin section analysis, mineralogical analyses which include x-ray ...
Groundwater resource evaluation and protection in the Cape Flats, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The analysis of geologic, hydrologic and hydrogeologic data interpreted to give the characteristics of the Cape Flats aquifer showed the quality of groundwater from the aquifer is suitable for development as a water resource. ...
An assessment of the influence of water allocation on sustainable water resources management: A case study of the Nyando river basin, Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Water problems prevalent in the Nyando River Basin are due to an ineffective water allocation
system and lack of adequate conditions for implementation of sustainable integrated water
resources management (IWRM) strategies. ...
An analysis of sustainability of communally-managed rural water supply systems in Zimbabwe
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Sustainability of rural water supply systems is a major development challenge in most
developing countries including Zimbabwe. This thesis aimed to analyse the sustainability of
communally managed rural water supply systems ...
Opportunity for implementing reclaimed water for domestic applications in South Africa: institutional engagement and public perceptions
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Water scarcity which impacts negatively on humans, as well as on the natural
environment, is a real problem facing developed and developing countries. The reuse
of wastewater is a critical component of the effective and ...
A comparative analysis of long-term variations of temperature and rainfall in rural and urban areas, and their effects on the estimation of design storms in Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
My Thesis aimed at expanding the current knowledge on how variations of temperature
characteristics including the possible existence of urban heat islands (UHI) over urban areas
of Kenya could be influencing rainfall ...
An integrated approach to understanding the geological controls on gas escape and migration pathways in offshore northern Orange Basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The use of an integrated approach in science has gained more prominence recently
because it is thorough and provides a dynamic perspective from which scientific
problems can be investigated and solutions proffered. Here, ...
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian Age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Offshore South Africa has been performed. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the reservoir potentials of the field through ...
Geochemical and mineralogical evaluation of toxic contaminants mobility in weathered coal fly ash: as a case study, Tutuka dump site, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The management and disposal of huge volumes of coal combustion by products such as fly ash has constituted a major challenge to the environment. In most cases due to the inadequate alternative use of coal fly ash, the ...
Application of enviromental and hydrochemical analysis to characterize flow dynamics in the Sakumo Wetland, Ghana
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
This research focused on understanding the current hydrogeology of the Sakumo wetland by
developing a conceptual flow model and simulating the groundwater flow system. The purpose of
the model is to assist in understanding ...
