A comparison of Remotely-Sensed Precipitation Estimates with observed data from rain Gauges in the Western Cape, South Africa
Maswanganye, Sagwati Eugene (University of the Western Cape, 2018)Precipitation data are critical for management of water resources. Precipitation can be measured through ground measurement by means of rain gauges and by remote sensing techniques. Rain gauges often give accurate measurements, ... -
Geomorphic analysis of river character and behaviour in three semi-arid, mountainous catchments in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Sekese, Siviwe Pamela (University of Western Cape, 2019)The analysis of what controls why rivers are the way they are, and how and why they change is crucial in predicting river dynamics and deriving classification systems that can assist management. A variety of factors control ... -
Identification and prioritization of areas for riparian buffer restoration in the Sout River catchment, Overberg District, Western Cape
Manchidi, Tshireletjo (University of the Western Cape, 2023)River catchments in areas dominated by agricultural activities are prone to contamination by nutrient-rich sediments whereby phosphorus is most concern. Phosphorus binds to fine sediments and gets transported to the ... -
Measurement and modelling of catchment erosion dynamics under different land cover types, Jonkershoek Catchment, Western Cape
Abrahams, Ebrahiem (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Several attempts have been made to assess the impact of post-fire soil erosion; however, erosion occurs as a result of the complex interplay between many factors, such as climate, land cover, soil and topography, making ...
