Applicability of big data analytics to support groundwater management in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Groundwater is a vital resources for member states in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). However, sustainable managing groundwater resources in SADC is a challenge. Amongst the many issues facing groundwater ... -
Developing an integrated remotely sensed framework for the detection and monitoring of seasonally-flooded wetlands in semi-arid environments of southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems on earth; they cover approximately 4-6% of the earth’s surface and offer critical eco-hydrological services. However, these ecosystems are under threat from anthropogenic ... -
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 ... -
Rainfall induced transient pressure wave mechanisms and pore water pressure dynamics in tailings
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)Tailings Storage Facilities are some of the largest engineered structures responsible for the containment of mining waste, yet some physical/hydrological processes causing slope instability are still poorly understood. ...
