An integrated rainfall-runoff water quality model in a mine impacted karst environment
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)A fully distributed rainfall-runoff model was developed for the Wonderfonteinspruit catchment (± 1 600 km2), in order to accurately determine the rainfall-runoff and mass transport model’s hydrological components that may ... -
