Determining the socio-economic value of groundwater: Franschhoek case study
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The Western Cape, a province of South Africa is facing increased pressure to develop new supplies of fresh water to cater for the regions rapidly growing demand. Groundwater is being explored as a possible contributor to ...
Geochemical evaluation of source rocks within the upper Ecca, main Karoo
(University of Western Cape, 2012)
The Karoo in South Africa is an area in which petroleum studies are being reviewed with
particular interest, especially within the Tanqua and Laingsburg subbasins of the Karoo.
The particular formations of interest ...
Towards rapid electrochemical test system of polyanilino-laccase-on-gold enzyme nanobiosensor for water estrogens
(2013)
Current water treatment technologies do not remove many endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in its entirety, and the amount of these pollutants that continues to enter the aquatic ...
Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using sequence stratigraphy, geological structures and diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Sandstone and shale samples were selected within the systems tracts for laboratory analyses. The sidewall and core samples were subjected to petrographic thin section analysis, mineralogical analyses which include x-ray ...
Evaluation of infiltration, run-off and sediment mobilisation using rainfall simulations in the Riebeek-Kasteel Area, Western Cape - South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The project was conducted on a small-scale catchment at Goedertrou in the Riebeek- Kasteel district. The focus of this study was to address some of the hydrological processes active in the research catchment, namely ...
Groundwater resource evaluation and protection in the Cape Flats, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The analysis of geologic, hydrologic and hydrogeologic data interpreted to give the characteristics of the Cape Flats aquifer showed the quality of groundwater from the aquifer is suitable for development as a water resource. ...
Mapping Break-Back Thrust Sequence Developments of the Orange Basin (offshore South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
In the present study thrust sequence developments in the sediments below the deep-waters of the Orange Basin are mapped. Four seismic sections are interpreted from four different locations of the study area. The interpreted ...
Assessing the influence of groundwater recharge mechanism on non-perennial river systems, Tankwa Karoo, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In South Africa and neighbouring countries such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, and Namibia, most river systems are non-perennial due to semi-arid or arid climatic characteristics. In such river systems, the interaction ...
An integrated study of the early cretaceous (Valanginian) reservoir from the Gamtoos Basin, offshore South Africa with special reference to seismic cacies, formation evaluation and static reservoir modeling
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Integrated approaches in the study of petroleum exploration are increasingly becoming significant in recent times and have yielded much better result as oil exploration is a combination of different related topics. The ...
An assessment of the influence of water allocation on sustainable water resources management: A case study of the Nyando river basin, Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Water problems prevalent in the Nyando River Basin are due to an ineffective water allocation
system and lack of adequate conditions for implementation of sustainable integrated water
resources management (IWRM) strategies. ...
