(Springer, Cham, 2018)
Water security is one of the greatest health, ecological, environmental, and human rights challenges of our time. Africa sits at the epicenter of this quandary, with the need to build resilience into already over allocated ...
Discrimination of tomato plants (solanum lycopersicum) grown under anaerobic baffled reactor effluent, nitrified urine concentrates and commercial hydroponic fertilizer regimes using simulated sensor spectral settings
(MPDI, 2019)
We assess the discriminative strength of three different satellite spectral settings (HyspIRI, the forthcoming Landsat 9 and Sentinel 2-MSI), in mapping tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Linnaeus) plants grown under hydroponic ...

Will climate warming exceed lethal photosynthetic temperature thresholds of lichens in a southern African arid region?
(Wiley, 2013)
Predicted elevated temperatures and a shift from a winter to summer rainfall pattern associated with global warming could result in the exposure of hydrated lichens during summer to more numerous temperature extremes that ...
Application of the rainfall infiltration breakthrough (RIB) model for groundwater recharge estimation in west coastal South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2013)
Recharge estimation in arid and semi-arid areas is very challenging. The chloride mass balance method applied in western
South Africa fails to provide reliable recharge estimates near coastal areas. A relationship between ...
Emerging forms of social action in urban domestic water supply in South Africa and Zimbabwe
