Application of multivariate statistics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map groundwater quality in the Beaufort West area, Western Cape, South Africa
(UWC, 2013)
Groundwater in arid and semi-arid areas like the Karoo region of South Africa is an important source of domestic, agricultural and industrial source of fresh water. As a scarce resource, it requires extensive quality control ...
Investigating the effects of nutrients and chlorophyll concentrations on the water quality of the Nuwejaars River, Cape Agulhas, Western Cape
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The Nuwejaars River flows into the largest natural freshwater lake in South Africa, Soetendalsvlei, which relies on and interacts with the Nuwejaars River. Therefore, the water quality of the Nuwejaars River plays a role ...
Assessing river-aquifer interaction for sustained water abstraction, Lower Vaal Catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Several methods are available in the literature for the estimations of river-aquifer interactions. However, the selection of which depends on available data, local geographic and topographic conditions, the spatial and ...
Investigating the natural groundwater recharge and discharge processes of the Saldanha Bay aquifer systems along the West Coast of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Saldanha Bay Local Municipality is partially dependent on groundwater as part of its bulk water supply
as surface water resources in the area are extremely limited and fully allocated. Due to this, there is lots
of ...
Determining the efficiency of in situ iron remediation (ISIR) technology using ozonation in the Atlantis primary aquifer, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In situ iron remediation (ISIR) applications has become a popular technique for reducing iron
and manganese concentrations in boreholes that impose aesthetic and potable issues to
groundwater quality and water supply ...
Assessing effectiveness of groundwater remediation technologies to a coastal aquifer within an urban environment in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Reverse Osmosis technology as an example of ex-situ groundwater remediation technologies. The Cape Flats Aquifer System, an urban coastal system, was used as a case study. ...
Assessing the surface water - groundwater interaction and its influence on the water quality from headwaters to lowlands
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The connections between surface water and groundwater systems remain poorly understood in many catchments throughout the world and yet they are fundamental in effectively managing water resources. Managing water resources ...
