Hydrosalinity fluxes in a small scale catchment of the berg river (Western Cape)
(2008)
The objective of this study was to determine the hydrosalinity fluxes associated with overland and subsurface (vadose zone) flow for different soils and land uses. For this purpose, the following data were collected during ...
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 – Cape flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(2008)
The objectives of this study were: To review and understand flow and transport processes in unsaturated zones. In this study, particular emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms that cause non-uniform (preferential) ...
The establishment of the long-term rainfall trends in the annual rainfall patterns in the Jonkershoek Valley, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The overall aim of this project was to establish whether there is a long-term decline of rainfall collected in rainfall gauges within the Jonkershoek Valley that have the longest and best quality records.
Implications of the geological structure of the Qoqodala dolerite ring complex for groundwater dynamics
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The chief aim of this project is to investigate the groundwater flow dynamics of the various fractured-rock aquifers (deep and shallow) associated with Karoo dolerite ring complexes in the Qoqodala area (northeast of ...
Hydrosalinity Fluxes in a Small Scale Catchment of the Berg River (Western Cape)
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The occurrence of dryland salinity is widespread throughout semi-arid regions of the world. The sources of salts may be either rock weathering or rain deposition. Clearing of natural scrubland to make way for cultivated ...
The Complexity of Splay Trees and Skip Lists
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Binary search trees (BSTs) are important data structures which are widely used
in various guises. Splay trees are a specific kind of binary search tree, one without
explicit balancing. Skip lists use more space than BSTs ...
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 - Cape Flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Understanding fluid flow and solute transport within the vadose (unsaturated) zone is an essential prerequisite for protection of groundwater from contaminant sources occurring overland. Preferential flow paths in the ...
