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 ...
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 ...
