Characterization of flowpaths to improve the prediction of vegetation impacts on hydrological processes in semi-arid mountainous catchments of the Cape Fold Belt
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Mountainous areas are important water sources in many landscapes. An understanding of
how mountainous catchments function is important particularly in semi-arid areas, where
water shortages are prevalent. In addition to ...
Geo-physical parameter forecasting on imagery{based data sets using machine learning techniques
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This research objectively investigates the e ectiveness of machine learning (ML) tools
towards predicting several geo-physical parameters. This is based on a large number
of studies that have reported high levels of ...
Investigating the role of groundwater - surface water connectivity in supporting non-perennial river systems, Sandveld, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers are characterised by a discontinuous and variable hydrological flow regime which may retreat to form isolated pools along the watercourse during prolonged dry periods. The resulting spatio-temporal ...
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 ...
GIS and remote sensing-based integrated modelling of climate and land use change impacts on groundwater quality: Cape Flats Aquifer, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The need to ensure groundwater security is vital, particularly in urban areas. Assessing the impact of land use and climate variables on groundwater quality can help improve sustainable management. The vulnerability mapping ...
