Erdogan, I.G.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Waanders, F.B.; Ntwampe, S.K.O.; Hoth, N. (Elsevier, 2019)

Water insecurity is a growing concern globally and the role of groundwater and aquifers in buffering the effects of climate variability and change is increasingly acknowledged due to extended periods of drought in arid ...
Potential toxic elements contamination of soils in O’Kiep, an arid region of Namaqualand, South Africa

Erdogan, I.G.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Waanders, F.B.; Ntwampe, S.K.O.; Hoth, N. (EARET, 2018)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the geochemical background and spatial distribution patterns of selected potential toxic elements (PTEs) in ten sub-surface soil samples (n=10) collected in the former copper mining ...
Seasonal variation of hydrochemical characteristics of open-pit groundwater near a closed metalliferous mine in O’Kiep, Namaqualand Region, South Africa

Erdogan, I.G.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Waanders, F.; Ntwampe, S.K.O.; Hoth, N. (Springer, 2020)

In this study, the hydrochemical characteristic changes of open-pit groundwater (OPGW) near a closed metalliferous mine proposed for drinking and irrigation usage were investigated. Water samples from an OPGW in O’Kiep ...
