Transport and fate of chemical and microbial tracers at University of Western Cape (UWC) campus site, Cape Flats aquifer of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Extreme weather events in combination with geographical changes in groundwater
utilization, groundwater availability, aquifer recharge, and ultimately changes in the quality of water resources, are expected in the future. ...
Assessing groundwater-surface water interaction as a decision-making tool licensing water use South Africa : case study area of Gevonden farm
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Assessing groundwater-surface water interaction as a decision-making tool licensing water use South Africa: Case study area of Gevonden Farm is the title of the current study with the context that arises from the use of ...
Application of multivariate statistics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map groundwater quality in the Beaufort West area, Western Cape, South Africa
(UWC, 2013)
Groundwater in arid and semi-arid areas like the Karoo region of South Africa is an important source of domestic, agricultural and industrial source of fresh water. As a scarce resource, it requires extensive quality control ...
Assessing the influence of groundwater recharge mechanism on non-perennial river systems, Tankwa Karoo, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In South Africa and neighbouring countries such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, and Namibia, most river systems are non-perennial due to semi-arid or arid climatic characteristics. In such river systems, the interaction ...
Assessing hydrogeological characteristics to establish influence of aquifer-river interaction in non-perennial river systems, Heuningnes catchment
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Over half of total flows in the global river network are composed of non-perennial rivers. This indicates the importance of non-perennial river systems in supporting the biodiversity. It has been established that groundwater ...
Using citizen science in monitoring groundwater levels to improve local groundwater governance, West coast, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Monitoring of groundwater levels provides a basis for assessing the availability of water
in aquifers, thereby informing the decisions on abstraction and uses of such water for
various purposes. It provides an understanding ...
Investigating the natural groundwater recharge and discharge processes of the Saldanha Bay aquifer systems along the West Coast of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Saldanha Bay Local Municipality is partially dependent on groundwater as part of its bulk water supply
as surface water resources in the area are extremely limited and fully allocated. Due to this, there is lots
of ...
Determining the efficiency of in situ iron remediation (ISIR) technology using ozonation in the Atlantis primary aquifer, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In situ iron remediation (ISIR) applications has become a popular technique for reducing iron
and manganese concentrations in boreholes that impose aesthetic and potable issues to
groundwater quality and water supply ...
Assessment of groundwater level fluctuation trends in Grootfontein dolomite Aquifer, North West Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Groundwater level decline is a problem experienced in aquifers with more than one groundwater user
such as the Grootfontein dolomite aquifer in the North West Province of South Africa. This study
assessed groundwater ...
Assessing hydrogeology of springs in Heuningnes Catchment in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Springs have been a significant source of water for flora and fauna since the beginning of
human history and, in some circumstances, the only source capable of supplying enough
water to sustain domestic and agricultural ...
