Hydraulic properties of the vadose zone at two typical sites in the Western Cape for the assessment of groundwater vulnerabilitv to pollution
Samuels, Donovan (University of the Western Cape, 2007)Aquifer vulnerability assessment is increasingly becoming a very significant basis in order to fulfil the water demands in South Africa. Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties that consists of the soil water retention and ... -

Hydrosalinity Fluxes in a Small Scale Catchment of the Berg River (Western Cape)
Bugan, Richard D.H. (University of the Western Cape, 2008)The occurrence of dryland salinity is widespread throughout semi-arid regions of the world. The sources of salts may be either rock weathering or rain deposition. Clearing of natural scrubland to make way for cultivated ... -
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 - Cape Flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
Majola, Kwazikwakhe (University of the Western Cape, 2008)Understanding fluid flow and solute transport within the vadose (unsaturated) zone is an essential prerequisite for protection of groundwater from contaminant sources occurring overland. Preferential flow paths in the ... -
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 – Cape flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
Majola, Kwazikwakhe Alfred (2008)The objectives of this study were: To review and understand flow and transport processes in unsaturated zones. In this study, particular emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms that cause non-uniform (preferential) ... -
The use of constructed wetlands to ameliorate discharge water from coal mines in the Witbank Coalfield
Mahlase, Boitumelo (University of Western Cape, 2021)Mining has a lengthy history in South Africa, and subsequent beneficiation processes have been conducted with little regard for the environment, thus leaving the land with un-rehabilitated abandoned mines. Currently, most ... -
The use of treated effluent for agricultural irrigation in the Bottelary River area: Effluent quality, farmers perception and potential extent
Rui, Li (University of the Western Cape, 2005)The Bottelary River area is located in a Mediterranean climate region, where the agricultural sector plays an important role. During the dry summer season, there is not enough precipitation to meet the agricultural irrigation ... -
