Groundwater resource evaluation in Table Mountain group aquifer systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Table Muntain Group has been identified as one of the major Regional Aquifers in South Africa. the vast distribution of it leads to a great diversity in its hydrogeological properties, which influences the dynamics of ...
Regional groundwater monitoring in the Olifants-Doorn water management area
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The aim of this investigation was to provide a framework or strategy for prioritising and implementing regional groundwater monitoring in the Olifants-Doorn Water Management (WMA) area. The general approach was to attempt ...
The hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Incomati Estuary
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The focus of this work was to monitor and evaluate the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in the Incomati Estuary for a period of one year. The aims of this work were to evaluate the groundwater chemistry ...
A water balance approach to groundwater recharge estimation in Montagu area of the Western Klein Karoo
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The Western Klein Karoo-Montagu area is located in the mid-eastern of the Western Cape Province , South Africa. In most of the study areas within semi-arid climatic zone , groundwater plays an important role in meeting ...
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 ...
Application Of environmental tracer methods to conceptualize groundwater recharge, West Coast, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Drought and climate change will have adverse consequence for freshwater resources in water stressed South Africa. Diminishing surface water reserves increases the demand to exploit groundwater resources. The drought ...
A geographic information systems approach to the identification of Table Mountain group aquifer "type areas" of ecological importance
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The Table Mountain group aquifer system has the potential to be an important supply of water. Although the aquifer system is used to some extent, a number of aspects relating to the aquifer system are poorly understood and ...
Development of a gas chromatographic technique for the analysis of some groundwater contaminants from fuel leaks and its application in a site-specific study
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
This study focuses on the development of a Direct Aqueous Injection Gas Chromatographic method with Flame Ionization Detection (DAI-GC/FID) for the analysis of MTBE and TBA. The analytical method was then applied in a site ...
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 ...
Delineation of groundwater protection zone in a fractured rock aquifer setting: A case study of Rawsonville
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is considering the implementation of an Aquifer Protection Strategy to protect the country’s critical groundwater resources. This study will assist in filling the knowledge gap ...
