A hydrogeomorphological approach to quantification of groundwater discharge to streams in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
In South Africa, the flow requirements for maintaining the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems is termed the “ecological
reserve”, and these should be determined when a licence application for water allocation is ...
Salinity of irrigation water in the Philippi farming area of the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2013)
This paper explores the nature, source and spatial variation of the salinity of water used for irrigation in a coastal urban farming area in Cape Town, South Africa, where water from the Cape Flats aquifer is drawn into ...
A water balance approach to the sustainable management of groundwater in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2000)
The water balance approach, based on the principles of conservation of mass, is applied to the issue of sustainable groundwater
management in South Africa, incorporating the ethos of the National Water Act of 1998, ...
A comparison of ensemble and deep learning algorithms to model groundwater levels in a data-scarce aquifer of Southern Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Machine learning and deep learning have demonstrated usefulness in modelling various
groundwater phenomena. However, these techniques require large amounts of data to develop
reliable models. In the Southern African ...
