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 ...
Advancements in satellite remote sensing for mapping and monitoring ofalien invasive plant species (AIPs)
(Elsevier, 2019)
Detecting and mapping the occurrence, spatial distribution and abundance of Alien Invasive Plants (AIPs) have recently gained substantial attention, globally. This work, therefore, provides an overview of advancements in ...
Assessing the surface material quality of unpaved rural roads to understand susceptibility to surface deterioration. A case study of four rural areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2019)
Road surface deterioration is one of the most common problems of unpaved road networks worldwide. It is areduction in the performance of a road due to a decline in road surface material quality. Accumulated damagefrom ...
Discrimination of tomato plants (solanum lycopersicum) grown under anaerobic baffled reactor effluent, nitrified urine concentrate and commercial hydroponic fertilizer regimes using multi-source satellite data
(ISPRS, 2019)
We evaluate the detection and discriminative strength of three different satellite spectral settings, namely, HyspIRI, the forthcoming
Landsat 9 and Sentinel 2-MSI, in mapping tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants grown ...
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 ...
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 ...
Ecosystem engineering by hummock-building earthworms in seasonal wetlands of eastern South Africa: Insights into the mechanics of biomorphodynamic feedbacks in wetland ecosystems
(Wiley, 2018)
This paper resolves the origin of clay hummock micro-topography in seasonal wetlands of the Drakensberg Foothills,
providing a review and appraisal of previously-suggested mechanisms of hummock formation in the context ...
Foreword to special section: groundwater in Africa
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
Hope as a critical resource for small scale farmers in Mpumalanga
(SAGE, 2015)
I contrast formal institutional structures that
are part of water resources management policy and
practice with more fluid ‘outside’ spaces that I claim are
more apt for participatory engagement around food
production. ...
