Applicability of big data analytics to support groundwater management in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Groundwater is a vital resources for member states in the Southern African Development
Community (SADC). However, sustainable managing groundwater resources in SADC
is a challenge. Amongst the many issues facing groundwater ...
Spatial and temporal dynamics of flows and pools along non-perennial rivers in arid and semi-arid areas, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This study aimed to assess the use of multi-source remotely sensed data for monitoring the spatial distribution and dynamics of pools in two distinct sites (Touws and Molototsi) in South Africa. Various water extraction ...
An assessment of water use by riparian and non-riparian invasive alien plants and the effects on water resources at the catchment scale
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The diversity and increasing extent of invasive alien plants (IAPs) are currently a global ecological and economic problem, especially in semi-arid regions. The introduction of IAPs worsens the strain in South Africa’s ...
Rainfall induced transient pressure wave mechanisms and pore water pressure dynamics in tailings
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Tailings Storage Facilities are some of the largest engineered structures responsible for the containment of mining waste, yet some physical/hydrological processes causing slope instability are still poorly understood. ...
Application of geochemical characterization, multivariate statistics and geological modelling in assessment and prediction studies on selected coal and gold mine waste in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Over the years, South Africa has generated vast amounts of coal fly ash and gold slime tailings, constituting over 70% of the country's waste materials. These byproducts contain elevated levels of trace metals, posing a ...
