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 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, ...
Assessment of microbial contamination of groundwater in upper Limphasa River catchment, located in a rural area of northern Malawi
(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 ...
The role of ground water in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
Although water resources managers speak of a water crisis in Africa, the management of ground water has to
date not featured strongly in national and regional African water agendas. Examination of the physical environment
of ...
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 ...
Conservation status of large branchiopods in the Western Cape, South Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Temporary wetlands are an ecologically and economically important habitat in South Africa. They harbor large branchiopods, known to be flagship species of nonpermanent aquatic habitats, and sensitive to land use changes. ...
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 ...
