The use of chemostratigraphy and geochemical vectoring as an exploration tool for platinum group metals in the Platreef, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa : a case study on the Tweefontein and Sandsloot farms
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The Platreef is known for its complexity and its heterogeneous lithologies, coupled with an unpredictable PGE and BMS mineralisation. The motivation behind this study was to aid mining geologists in targeting mineralisation ... -
The use of chemostratigraphy and geochemical vectoring as an exploration tool for platinum group metals in the Platreef, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa: a case study on the sandsloot & overysel farms
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The paucity of geochemical criteria for stratigraphic correlations and defining the styles of mineralisation pose serious problems in locating PGE-rich zones in the Platreef. This study is therefore aimed at identifying ... -
The use of constructed wetlands to ameliorate discharge water from coal mines in the Witbank Coalfield
(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 remote sensing data for assessing water quality in wetlands within the Limpopo River Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)Wetlands are unique ecosystems that are acknowledged among the world’s most productive and valuable ecosystems. They are recognized as being essential to sustainable development and human welfare due to their unique ... -
The use of remote sensing data to monitor pools along non-perennial rivers in the Western Cape, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The lack of monitoring of non-perennial rivers is a major problem for water resources management, despite their significance in satisfying agricultural, economic and recreational needs. Pools in non-perennial rivers are ... -
The use of remote sensing for soil moisture estimation using downscaling and soil water balance modelling in Malmesbury and the Riebeek Valley
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)Soil moisture forms an integral part of the hydrological cycle and exerts considerable influence on hydrological processes at or near the earth’s surface. Knowledge of soil moisture is important for planning and decision-making ... -
The use of treated effluent for agricultural irrigation in the Bottelary River area: Effluent quality, farmers perception and potential extent
(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 ... -

Using hydrogeochemistry and geophysical techniques to determine the extent of connectivity between Langerban road and Elandsfontein aquifer system, West Coast, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)The heterogeneity in groundwater systems suggest that not all aquifers are connected in groundwater systems. This study is about the interaction between aquifers within groundwater system. Langebaan Road and Elandsfontein ... -
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 ...
