An assessment of water use by Acacia longifolia trees occurring within the hillslopes and riparian zone of the Heuningnes Catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The increasing expansion of Acacia longifolia trees along the riparian zones in South Africa
demands an urgent intervention as the species is listed in the National Environmental
Management: Biodiversity Act (2004). This ...
The geochemistry, geochronology and petrogenetic characteristics of two granitic suites on the eastern margin of the Namaqua Sector, Namaqua-Natal Mobile Belt, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The group of granites on the eastern margin of the Mesoproterozoic Namaqua sector of the polydeformed and highly metamorphosed Namaqua-Natal Province of southern Africa is known as the Keimoes Suite. The suite includes ...
Integrating 3D basin modelling concept to determine source rock maturation in the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin (offshore South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The burial history, thermal maturity and petroleum generation history of the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin have been studied using 3D basin and petroleum systems modelling approach. The investigated sedimentary basin for ...
Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoir of well E-AH1, E-BW1 and E-L1 Central Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The Bredasdorp basin is a sub-basin of the greater Outeniqua basin. It is located off the south coast, Southeast of Cape Town, South Africa. This basin is one of the largest hydrocarbon (mainly gas) producing basins within ...
A national survey of mercury levels in South Africa's water management areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This study forms part of a broader project co-funded by the Water Research Commission (WRC), and CSIR Parliamentary Grant (PG) and Strategic Research Panel (SRP) research grants, aimed at surveying selected water resources ...
The ecohydrology of the Franschoek Trust Wetland: water, soils and vegetation
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The research was driven by a need to increase the knowledge base concerning wetland ecological responses, as well as to identify and evaluate the factors driving the functioning of the Franschhoek Trust Wetland. An ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The area of concentration of this particular project is focused on the central part of the Bredasdorp Basin, block 9, offshore South Africa. Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoirs of the F-0 tract offshore South ...
Land use practices and their impact on the water quality of the Upper Kuils River (Western Cape Province, South Africa)
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
The water quality in many Cape Town Rivers and streams is a major challenge. Kuils River is subject to multiple land use impacts from upstream to downstream because of rapid urbanization in its catchment area. The main ...
Petrophysics and fluid mechanics of selected wells in Bredasdorp Basin South Africa
(2013)
Pressure drop within a field can be attributed to several factors. Pressure drop occurs when fractional forces cause resistance to flowing fluid through a porous medium. In this thesis, the sciences of petrophysics and ...
The application of geophysical wireline logs for porosity and permeability characterisation of coal seams for coal bed methane evaluation : Waterberg Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The fracture porosity and permeability of the Beaufort Seam 1 (BS1) and Ecca coal seams of the Waterberg Basin have been comprehensively characterised with the aid of geophysical wire‐line logs. The main aim of the thesis ...
