Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations of the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs in the Bredasdorp basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations in the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs was extensively studied from 10 selected wells, namely: F-O1, F-O2, E-M4, E-CN1, E-G1, E-W1, F-A10, F-A11, F-A13, and F-L1 ...
Effects of catchment management on physical river condition, chemistry, hydrogeomorphology and ecosystem service provision in small coastal rivers of the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
River systems are by nature complex and dynamic systems, which vary in structure and therefore function, and are closely connected to their landscapes. The primary aim of this thesis was to develop a systems operational ...
Using coupled atmospheric-unsaturated zone model to quantify groundwater recharge to the Table Mountain Group Aquifer system, George, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The current study aimed at providing groundwater recharge estimates in a fractured rock aquifer environment that is occupied by pine plantation and indigenous forests in order to improve the understanding of the effect of ...
An analysis of sustainability of communally-managed rural water supply systems in Zimbabwe
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Sustainability of rural water supply systems is a major development challenge in most
developing countries including Zimbabwe. This thesis aimed to analyse the sustainability of
communally managed rural water supply systems ...
An investigation of key seismic attribute analysis of the Whitehill Formation in the Karoo Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The object of this study is to determine the thickness of the Whitehill formation based on historic seismic data
provided by the Council for Geoscience (CGS). The thickness of the Whitehill was determined through the
development ...
Conceptualization of urban hydrogeology within the context of water sensitive urban design: case study of Cape Flats Aquifer
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Urban hydrogeology can be used to facilitate a decision-making process regarding the
implementation of water sensitive urban design (WSUD) to manage water systems of periurban
cities. This thesis was aimed at providing ...
Opportunity for implementing reclaimed water for domestic applications in South Africa: institutional engagement and public perceptions
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Water scarcity which impacts negatively on humans, as well as on the natural
environment, is a real problem facing developed and developing countries. The reuse
of wastewater is a critical component of the effective and ...
Geochronology, petrogenesis and isotopic characteristics of the palaeoproterozoic Gladkop Suite, north-western portion of the Namaqua sector, Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic complex, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The Gladkop Suite (GS) granitic gneisses in the Bushmanland Domain (BD) represent one of
the oldest rock units in the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province (NNMP), and are located adjacent to
the northern Richtersveld ...
Investigation of deep groundwater flow systems in the Main Karoo Basin of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The improvement in hydraulic fracturing techniques resulted in the exploitation of natural gas associated with low-permeability of organic-rich shale formations in the United States. South Africa has prospective shale gas ...
A comparative analysis of long-term variations of temperature and rainfall in rural and urban areas, and their effects on the estimation of design storms in Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
My Thesis aimed at expanding the current knowledge on how variations of temperature
characteristics including the possible existence of urban heat islands (UHI) over urban areas
of Kenya could be influencing rainfall ...
