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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Foreword to special section: groundwater in Africa
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
Groundwater management issues in Southern Africa – An IWRM perspective
(Water Research Commission, 2008)
In contrast to its strategic role as essential resource to help achieve community development and poverty alleviation in the
Southern African Development Community (SADC), groundwater has remained a poorly understood and ...
Spatiotemporal green water dynamics and their responses to variations of climatic and underlying surface factors: A case study in the Sanjiang Plain, China
(Elsevier, 2023)
The Sanjiang Plain (SJP), located at the confluence reaches of the Heilong, Songhua, and Wusuli Rivers in Northeast China. his study aimed to quantify the effects of varying climate and land-use/land-cover (LULC) dynamics ...
Editor’s message: Building capacity and partnerships towards sustainable utilization of groundwater in Africa
(Springer, 2008)
This Editor’s Message advises the international groundwater fraternity of new opportunities in hydrogeological
developments in Africa. It is a fact that groundwater plays
a vital role in socio-economic and ecological ...
Scenarios analysis using water-sensitive urban design principles: A case study of the Cape Flats Aquifer in South Africa
(Springer, 2020)
A feasibility assessment was undertaken on the application ofwater-sensitive urban design (WSUD) for the Cape Flats Aquifer in
Cape Town, South Africa, at the local scale. The study contributes towards the planning of ...

Effect of temperature on microorganisms and nitrogen removal in a multi-stage surface flow constructed wetland
(MDPI, 2023)
The effect of low temperature on microbial nitrogen metabolism in constructed wetlands has yet to be extensively investigated. In this study, we analyzed the effects of temperature changes on nitrogen-associated microorganisms ...
