Analysis of the fragmented legal regime pertaining to rehabilitation measures for wetlands: A South African perspective – part 1
Lemine, Bramley Jemain; Kanyerere, Thokozani (WIT Press, 2022)Wetlands are disappearing and it is an international dilemma. Many efforts have been made to ensure its protection and conservation, including rehabilitation. Rehabilitation measures have been adopted in policies of ... -
Application of multi‑method approach to assess groundwater–surface water interactions, for catchment management
Madlala, T.; Kanyerere, Thokozani; Oberholster, P.; Xu, Y. (Springer, 2018)Globally, the dependence of river systems to delayed discharge of subsurface water to augment flows during dry seasons is well documented. Discharge of fresh subsurface water can dilute concentrated river flow quality ... -
Assessing the role of water resources protection practice for sustainable water resources management: A review
Makanda, Koleka; Nzama, Stanley; Kanyerere, Thokozani (MDPI, 2022)Water resource protection is central to sustainable water supply management for human wellbeing and for the ecological ecosystem to flourish. This review paper focuses on highlighting the role of groundwater and surface ... -
Assessment of catchment scale groundwater-surface water interaction in a non-perennial river system, heuningnes catchment, South Africa
Banda, Vincent Dzulani; Mengistu, Haile; Kanyerere, Thokozani (Scientific African, 2023)A significant proportion of the world's river networks are non-perennial rivers that are characterized by segments of dry, standing, and flowing water. However, the role of groundwater and the controlling elements governing ... -
Assessment of concentration levels of contaminants in groundwater of the Soutpansberg region, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Lalumbe, Lindelani; Kanyerere, Thokozani (MDPI, 2022)Groundwater contributions towards improved food security and human health depend on the level of contaminants in groundwater resources. Many people in rural areas use groundwater for drinking purposes without treatment ... -
Assessment of microbial contamination of groundwater in upper Limphasa River catchment, located in a rural area of northern Malawi
Kanyerere, Thokozani; Levy, Jonathan; Xu, Yongxin; Saka, John (Water Research Commission, 2012)In rural Africa, scientific evidence is often lacking to guide the scaling-up of groundwater as the safest source of potable water. An investigation was conducted in the Upper Limphasa Catchment in northern Malawi to ... -
Characterisation of hydro-geochemical processes influencing groundwater quality in rural areas: A case study of Soutpansberg region, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Lalumbe, Lindelani; Kanyerere, Thokozani (MDPI, 2022)Groundwater is often the main or only source of fresh water supply in arid to semi-arid rural areas owing to decreasing rainfall patterns, reduced availability of surface water and socioeconomic activities. It is important ... -
Feasibility assessment of the application of groundwater remediation techniques in rural areas: A case study of rural areas in the Soutpansberg region, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Lalumbe, Lindelani; Oberholster, Paul Johan; Kanyerere, Thokozani (MDPI, 2022)Groundwater contribution towards human health and livelihood depends on the contaminants level in groundwater. Many people in rural communities are being exposed to waterborne diseases resulting from drinking untreated ... -
GIS-based modelling of climate variability impacts on groundwater quality: Cape Flats aquifer, Cape Town, South Africa
Gintamo, Tesfaye Tessema; Mengistu, Haile; Kanyerere, Thokozani (Elsevier, 2021)The need to improve groundwater security remains critical, especially in urban areas where demand for groundwater as an alternative source of water supply is increasing following unprecedented population growth. Climate ... -
Hydrogeochemical characteristics and evaluation of groundwater quality for domestic and irrigation purposes: A case study of the Heuningnes Catchment, Western Cape Province, South Africa
Mokoena, Portia; Kanyerere, Thokozani; Donker, Jan van Bever (Springer, 2020)Knowing the quality of water is imperative if the water is meant for drinking or agricultural purposes. The spatial and temporal groundwater quality in the Heuningnes Catchment was investigated, and its appropriateness ... -
Keep the flow: Citizen science as agonistic learning
Goldin, Jacqueline; Suransky, Carolina; Kanyerere, Thokozani (Ubiquity Press, 2023)This paper addresses the transformative and emancipatory potential of citizen science not only concerning its role in groundwater management, but also regarding its contribution to enhanced and sustainable well-being. ... -
Policy implementation for water resources protection: Assessing spatio-temporal trends of results from process-based outcomes of resource-directed measures projects in South Africa
Makanda, Koleka; Nzama, Stanley; Kanyerere, Thokozani (MDPI, 2022)Governments are continuously developing strategies for policy implementation toward water resource protection. However, little is known about the practical application of such plans to test their effectiveness in policy ... -
Review of in-situ and remote sensing-based indices and their applicability for integrated drought monitoring in South Africa
Mukhawana, Mxolisi B.; Kanyerere, Thokozani; Kahler, David (MDPI, 2023)The devastating socioeconomic impacts of recent droughts have intensified the need for improved drought monitoring in South Africa (SA). This study has shown that not all indices can be universally applicable at all ... -
