Enacted in 1998, the New South African Water Act has introduced a new approach to water resource management, founded on the principle of decentralization of the management of water resources to regional and local levels ...
Integration of petrographic and petrophysical logs analyses to characterize and assess reservoir quality of the lower cretaceous sediments in the Orange basin, offshore south africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Commercial hydrocarbon production relies on porosity and permeability that defines the storage capacity and flow capacity of the resevoir. To assess these parameters, petrographic and petrophysical log analyses has been ...
The influence of clay diagenesis on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs in the Pletmos Basin Offshore South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Pletmos Basin is a Mesozoic half graben located in the southern part of South Africa and has undergone numerous tectonic changes which involve alteration of structure and reworking of sediments. Clay diagenesis has become ...

(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The Sea Point contact, Cape Town, South Africa, exposes the contact between the
Neoproterozoic Malmesbury Group metasedimentary rocks of the Pan-African Saldania belt
and the intrusive S-type Peninsula Granite of the ...
Foraminiferal biostratigraphy and depositional environment of the early cretaceous drilled succession in Durban basin, east coast, South Africa
(South African Journal of Higher Education, 2020)
Durban Basin located on the eastern coast of South Africa has been a focus of interest for Petroleum Exploration for the last few decades. Only four exploratory wells have been drilled in this offshore basin without success. ...
Assessing different coal combustion residue backfill scenarios in opencast coal mines, Mpumalanga, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Coal-fired power stations produce large volumes of coal combustion residues (CCRs), which
are disposed of in hold ponds or landfill sites. These ash storage facilities are limited in space
and are approaching the end of ...
Effects of acid concentration on the extraction of rare earth elements from South African Coal Fly Ash
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Coal is seen as a reliable and secure energy source in many countries around the world despite the development of a number of alternative sources of energy. A rise in global energy demand has led to an increase in coal ...

Measurement and modelling of catchment erosion dynamics under different land cover types, Jonkershoek Catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Several attempts have been made to assess the impact of post-fire soil erosion; however, erosion occurs as a result of the complex interplay between many factors, such as climate, land cover, soil and topography, making ...
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 ...
