Assessment of managed aquifer recharge using GIS based modeling approach in West Coast, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Due to climate change, rapid urbanization, and population expansion, the water demand and supply is showing increasing fluctuations, especially in the arid or semi-arid regions. One of the most important water resource ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Sustainable utilisation of Table Mountain Group aquifers
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The Table Mountain Group (TMG) Formation is the lowest member of the Cape Supergroup which consists of sediments deposited from early Ordovician to early Carboniferous times, approximately between 500 and 340 million years ... -
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. ...
