The greatest water quality problem in the Buffalo River catchment area is the discharge of effluent from waste water treatment works and industries around Zwelitsha-King Williamstown. The Da Gama Textile factory has caused ...
Effects of Dolerite Intrusions on the geohydrology of Karoo sediments in the Mount Frere area, South Africa
(North-West University, 2017)
The Karoo Supergroup has a geohydrological regime which is largely controlled by Jurassic dolerite dyke and sill complexes. The study area is located in the central interior of the Eastern Cape Province, in the former ...
Hydrological Modelling of the Rietvlei Wetland, Western Cape, South Africa : Identifying possible Environmental Impacts
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
Conceptualizing the hydrological processes governing wetland environments is only possible when the defining attributes of the wetland are considered and understood. In this case, the groundwater level fluctuations, wetland ...
