The chemical groundwater characteristics of the Sutherland area, Northern Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The objectives of the project were to establish, identify, interpret and map the chemical groundwater composition of the area surrounding the town of sutherland' Processes that govern the groundwater chemistry of the area ...
A decision-making framework for groundwater management in arid zones (with a case study in Namaqualand).
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The main aim of the work on which this thesis is based was to develop a framework for sustainable management of groundwater resources in arid zones with emphasis on Namaqualand in the north western region of South Africa. ...
Geochemical and petrographic evidence for the vredefort proximal impact ejecta in the Northern Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The advancement of the understanding of hypervelocity impacts lies in discovering impact structures and both proximal and distal impact ejecta. This study uses petrographic and geochemical techniques to investigate the ...
Constraining the stratigraphy and paleotectonic development of the Cango Caves and Kansa Groups (Western Cape, South Africa) using detrital zircon and whole-rock geochemistry
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The Saldania Belt is a Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic low-grade orogenic belt that borders the southern and southwestern margins of the Kalahari Carton. It forms part of the Neoproterozoic Pan-African and Brasiliano ...
The presence and concentration of antiretroviral drugs in different water bodies around the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Concerns regarding the prevalence of chemicals from medicines and personal care goods, such as cosmetics, in streams and rivers have grown in recent years. Water quality experts and environmentalists are becoming increasingly ...
Assessing the surface water - groundwater interaction and its influence on the water quality from headwaters to lowlands
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The connections between surface water and groundwater systems remain poorly understood in many catchments throughout the world and yet they are fundamental in effectively managing water resources. Managing water resources ...
Spatial and temporal dynamics of flows and pools along non-perennial rivers in arid and semi-arid areas, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This study aimed to assess the use of multi-source remotely sensed data for monitoring the spatial distribution and dynamics of pools in two distinct sites (Touws and Molototsi) in South Africa. Various water extraction ...
Use of remotely sensed data and spatial modelling techniques to assess impacts of different land management practices on surface water quality
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The study uses remote sensing and statistical techniques in assessing land use land cover impacts on surface water quality in the Heuningnes Catchment, Cape Agulhas, South Africa. Firstly, a review of the advancements made ...
The fate and occurrence of pharmaceuticals in Cape Town’s water network
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Thousands of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and microplastics are consumed and disposed of directly or indirectly into various water bodies globally. Which are collectively termed “contaminants of emerging concern” or CECs. ...
