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)
The use of integrated approach to evaluate reservoir rock quality and source rock potential is becoming increasingly important in petroleum geology. This approach was employed to unravel the reason for variable reservoir ...
An assessment of factors influencing the spatial variability of iron concentrations in groundwater in selected areas of the Western Cape Province.
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Groundwater in South Africa, and more specifically the Western Cape Province (WCP), has become of major interest in recent years due to the unpredictable climatic conditions and the uncertainty of surface water to continuously ...
Rainfall induced transient pressure wave mechanisms and pore water pressure dynamics in tailings
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Tailings Storage Facilities are some of the largest engineered structures responsible for the containment of mining waste, yet some physical/hydrological processes causing slope instability are still poorly understood. ...
An assessment of river and wetland morphology dynamics using geospatial techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Land surface modification has intensified in recent years, and it continues to be an ongoing process. This raises serious concerns about changes in land use and land cover (LULC) since some of these changes have led to ...
An evaluation of potential management options to Reduce water use in communal gardens on the cape Flats
(UWC, 2011)
The aim of this project was to evaluate various potential management options in their ability to reduce the water use of small and medium scale vegetable gardens on the Cape Flats. The water use of these gardens has a ...
Application of geochemical characterization, multivariate statistics and geological modelling in assessment and prediction studies on selected coal and gold mine waste in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Over the years, South Africa has generated vast amounts of coal fly ash and gold slime tailings, constituting over 70% of the country's waste materials. These byproducts contain elevated levels of trace metals, posing a ...
Assessment of impacts of land use and land cover changes on runoff in the luvuvhu catchment area
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This study aims to assess the impacts of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on runoff in the Luvuvhu catchment in Limpopo, South Africa. To achieve this aim, the study had two specific objectives. The first objective ...
