Hydrogeophysical characterization of coastal aquifers for solution-based modeling, West Coast, South Africa
(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 ...
Spatial characterization of vegetation diversity with satellite remote sensing in the khakea-bray transboundary aquifer
(University of Western Cape, 2022)
There have been increasing calls to monitor Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) more effectively, since they are biodiversity hotspots that provide several ecosystem services. The accurate monitoring of GDEs is an ...
Determining crop coefficients for irrigated fruit tree crops using readily available data sources
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The climate variability and climate change-induced events experienced worldwide have caused a significant decrease in the rainfall volume. South Africa is considered to be one of the driest countries in the world, as it ...
Remote sensing and multispectral imaging of hydrological responses to land use/land cover and climate variability in contrasting agro-ecological systems in Mountainous catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Water is a fundamental resource and key in the provision of energy, food and health. However, water resources are currently under severe pressure as a consequence of climate change and variability, population growth and ...
Identifying potential areas suitable for managed aquifer recharge in Saldanha bay, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The West Coast in the Western Cape of South Africa is a water-scarce area. Pressure from population
and industrial growth, recurring droughts and climate change has resulted in an increasing urgency in
the West Coast to ...
Constraining the stratigraphy and paleotectonic development of the Cango Caves and Kansa Groups (Western Cape, South Africa) using detrital zircon and whole-rock geochemistry
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The Saldania Belt is a Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic low-grade orogenic belt that borders
the southern and southwestern margins of the Kalahari Carton. It forms part of the
Neoproterozoic Pan-African and Brasiliano ...
Formation evaluation and assessment of flow units of some selected wells in the Bredasdorp basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Petroleum geologists have long recognized the need to apply secondary and tertiary
hydrocarbon recovery techniques for an accurate understanding of the internal architecture of
a reservoir. The approach to effective ...
Structural tectonic evolution of the Buffels river shear zone, Namaqua sector, Namaqua-natal metamorphic province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The Buffels River shear zone is located in north-western Namaqualand within the
Bushmanland Subprovince, approximately 50 km south of the town of Springbok in the
Namaqua Metamorphic Province in South Africa. The Buffels ...
Identification and prioritization of areas for riparian buffer restoration in the Sout River catchment, Overberg District, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
River catchments in areas dominated by agricultural activities are prone to contamination by
nutrient-rich sediments whereby phosphorus is most concern. Phosphorus binds to fine
sediments and gets transported to the ...
High-grade metamorphism, anatexis and deformation of metasedimentary rocks from the Kamiesberg Group near Kliprand, Southern Bushmanland Domain, Namaqua Metamorphic Province
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Migmatitic metapelites of the Kamiesberg Group are distributed throughout the central
Bushmanland Domain (Namaqua Metamorphic Province) which is otherwise dominated by
felsic gneisses. This study focusses on an outcrop ...
