Application of fluid electrical conductivity logging for fractured rock aquifer characterisation at the University of the Western Cape's Franschhoek and Rawsonville research sites
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Characterisation of fractured rock aquifers is important when dealing with groundwater protection and management. Fractures are often good conduits for water and contaminants, leading to high flow velocities and the fast ... -
Development of a conceptual model for ash dump system using hydraulic and tracer test techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Coal provides for 77% of South Africa’s primary energy needs and is therefore a major resource that supports the socio-economic needs of South African citizens. Power stations are the major consumers of coal in South Africa ... -
Hydraulic properties of the Table Mountain group (TMG) aquifers
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The Table Mountain Group (TMG), located at the southmost cape of African Continent, is one out of three major regional aquifer systems in South Africa, which has a potential of bulk water supply to meet the requirements ... -
Hydraulic properties of the vadose zone at two typical sites in the Western Cape for the assessment of groundwater vulnerabilitv to pollution
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Aquifer vulnerability assessment is increasingly becoming a very significant basis in order to fulfil the water demands in South Africa. Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties that consists of the soil water retention and ...
