Application Of environmental tracer methods to conceptualize groundwater recharge, West Coast, South Africa
Andries, Clinton William (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 ... -
Assessing different coal combustion residue backfill scenarios in opencast coal mines, Mpumalanga, South Africa
Vicente, Annalisa Sarga (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 ... -
Assessing the hydrogeologic characteristics and sources of groundwater recharge and flow in the Elandsfontein aquifer, West Coast, Western Cape, South Africa
Smith, Kezia (University of Western Cape, 2020)This study is part of the current investigation of the Elandsfontein aquifer to assist with the management of the system and to ensure the protection of the associated Langebaan Lagoon RAMSAR listed site. The Elandsfontein ... -
Assessing the role of groundwater recharge in semi-arid catchments, Hout River Basin, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Vinqi, Lusanda (University of the Western Cape, 2021)Many countries in sub-Sahara African region are characterised by crystalline basement aquifers where groundwater explorations are often described as complex. This is because groundwater availability in such aquifers is ... -
Developing a hydrogeological conceptual model for subterranean groundwater control areas using remote sensing techniques, Hout catchment, Limpopo, South Africa
Mkali, Andrew Talinda (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Crystalline basement aquifers are an important source of water supply in sub-Saharan Africa for various purposes. These aquifers are characterized by fractured rock networks which form pathways for groundwater recharge, ... -
Green drop programme in South Africa: The role of institutional commitment in sustainable water resources management: Western Cape, South Africa
Bila - Mupariwa, Ntombizanele Mary (University of the Western Cape, 2022)Incentive-based regulation is a key driver of change to improve wastewater management and sustainable water resource management. Although the Green Drop Certification program has existed since 2009, no academic studies ... -
Hydrogeophysical characterization of coastal aquifers for solution-based modeling, West Coast, South Africa
Ndubuisi, Igwebuike Godstime (University of Western Cape, 2021)The need to improve groundwater security remains critical especially in urban areas where demand for groundwater as an alternative source of water supply increases. Declining trends in availability of surface water because ... -
Investigating the impact of effluent from wastewater treatment works on river water quality, Baths River, Caledon, Western Cape, South Africa
Zama, Nosipho (University of Western Cape, 2021)South Africa is facing a problem of many municipal waste water treatment works (WWTW) not working efficiently. The environmental impacts of poorly treated effluents on receiving water bodies have required special attention ... -
Investigating the role of groundwater - surface water connectivity in supporting non-perennial river systems, Sandveld, Western Cape, South Africa
Pietersen, Raven Jesse (University of the Western Cape, 2021)Non-perennial rivers are characterised by a discontinuous and variable hydrological flow regime which may retreat to form isolated pools along the watercourse during prolonged dry periods. The resulting spatio-temporal ... -
Investigation of deep groundwater flow systems in the Main Karoo Basin of South Africa
Maceba, Thandokazi (University of the Western Cape, 2017)The improvement in hydraulic fracturing techniques resulted in the exploitation of natural gas associated with low-permeability of organic-rich shale formations in the United States. South Africa has prospective shale gas ...
