Comparative Study of the Chemostratigraphic and Petrophysical characteristics 0/ Wells A-AI, A-LI, A-UI and A-Il in the Orange Basin, South Atlantic Margin, Offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Many hydrocarbon reservoirs are situated in barren sequences that display poor stratigraphic control. Correlation between the wells can become extremely difficult and traditional correlation techniques can prove to be ...
An approach to groundwater targeting in the Springbok region, central Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Namaqualand is a semi-arid region where water is not only a necessity and basic need, but also very much a luxury. As a consequence, various studies were undertaken to find water sources, whether surface or groundwater, ...
Rapid geomorphological change in an urban estuary: a case study of the Eerste River, Cape Town, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The Eerste River estuary is one of eleven estuaries draining into False Bay. lt is an urban river system and has therefore been subjected to human interference, which has resulted in degradation. This study focuses on ...
Exploration geochemical mapping in the north-eastern sector of the Morokweng impact structure, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The Morokweng impact structure which is located in the North West province of South Africa, has attracted attention as a potential host for Ni-PGE mineralization. Geochemical exploration techniques using hydroxylamine ...
Groundwater quality monitoring : An approach to groundwater resource quality protection
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Resource protection is considered by the National Water Act (Act No. 36, 1998)
of South Africa as one of the methods that can lead to resource management.
Furthermore, the Water Services Act (Act No. 108, 1997) regards ...
An approach to acquifer test pumping in fractured crystalline aquifers with a case study in Namaqualand
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Water resources in South Africa are being stressed. Due to this concern more emphasis should be placed on determining where we can improve our existing methods for the calculation of sustainable yield. Current approaches ...
The identification of potential groundwater zones in the Kamiesberg region, Northern Cape province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
The aim of the study is to apply remote sensing techniques to identify potential groundwater resources for the Kamiesberg region. This region, with vast water shortages relies solely on groundwater and is characterized by ...
Hydraulic properties of the vadose zone at two typical sites in the Western Cape for the assessment of groundwater vulnerabilitv to pollution
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Aquifer vulnerability assessment is increasingly becoming a very significant basis in order to fulfil the water demands in South Africa. Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties that consists of the soil water retention and ...
Towards understanding the Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems within the Table Mountain Group Aquifer: A conceptual approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Understanding of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) and their extent within the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer is poor. To understand the dependence to basic ecological and hydrogeological concepts need explanation. ...
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 ...
