Groundwater discharges to aquatic ecosystems associated with the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer: a conceptual model
(Water Research Commission, 2008)
This paper reports on a conceptual model that was developed to describe the different groundwater discharge ‘types’ from
the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer, that contributes to the different components of the flow ...
Snow impact on groundwater recharge in Table Mountain Group aquifer systems with a case study of the Kommissiekraal River catchment South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2005)
Snowmelt in the mountainous areas of the Table Mountain Group (TMG) in South Africa is believed to be one of sources of
groundwater recharge in some winter seasons. This paper provides a scientific assessment of snow ...
On the use of electrical resistivity methods in monitoring infiltration of salt fluxes in dry coal ash dumps in Mpumalanga, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2013)
One of the principal environmental concerns relating to coal combustion waste disposal is the potential for groundwater
contamination from salt fluxes and trace elements that may be leached into the underlying groundwater ...
Borehole dilution experiment in a Karoo aquifer in Bloemfontein
(Water Research Commission, 1997)
This paper shows that a borehole dilution experiment using common salt is a useful technique for better understanding of some hydrogeological features of a fractured aquifer. A sense of such tracer experiments was performed ...
Sustainable groundwater use, the capture principle, and adaptive management
(Water Research Commission, 2006)
The purpose of this paper is to review the case for using ‘capture’ rather than recharge as the conceptual basis for sustainable groundwater use in South Africa. Capture refers to the sum of the increase in recharge and ...
A tensor approach to the estimation of hydraulic conductivities in Table Mountain Group aquifers of South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2006)
Based on the field measurements of the physical properties of fractured rocks, the anisotropic properties of hydraulic conductivity (HC) of the fractured rock aquifer can be assessed and presented using a tensor approach ...
A three-tier approach to protect groundwater resources in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 1995)
The quality of groundwater is affected by many activities occurring on the surface of the earth. A pro-active protection approach is required to avoid the costly and technology difficult exercise of groundwater remediation. ...
Review: groundwater management and groundwater/surface-water interaction in the context of South African water policy
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
Groundwater/surface-water interaction is receiv¬ing increasing focus in Africa due to its importance to ecologic systems and sustainability. In South Africa's 1998 National Water Act (NWA), water-use licenses, including ...
