Pinpointing areas of increased soil erosion risk following land cover change in the Lake Manyara catchment, Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2018)
Lack of long-term scientific land cover and erosional data impedes the development of sustainable land management plans to tackle land degradation and soil erosion problems in Tanzania. Using Landsat imagery, almost three ...
Post-orogenic shoshonitic magmas of the Yzerfontein pluton, South Africa: the 'smoking gun' of mantle melting and crustal growth during Cape granite genesis?
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
The post-orogenic Yzerfontein pluton, in the Saldania Belt of South Africa was constructed through numerous injections of shoshonitic magmas. Most magma compositions are adequately modelled as products of fractionation, ...
From vagueness to precision: raising the volume on social issues for the water sector
(IWA Publishing, 2013)
The paper raises the volume on complex social issues that affect water management. The paper proposes Amartya
Sen's capability approach (CA) as a suitable framework against which to consider these complex ideals. This ...
A hydrogeomorphological approach to quantification of groundwater discharge to streams in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
In South Africa, the flow requirements for maintaining the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems is termed the “ecological
reserve”, and these should be determined when a licence application for water allocation is ...
Capture zone simulation for boreholes located in fractured dykes using the linesink concept
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
Delineation of capture zones for groundwater source protection is normally performed by using numerical codes which are based
on the porous medium flow equation. However, boreholes are often sited in or along permeable ...
Effects of land use change on streamflow and stream water quality of a coastal catchment
(South African Water Research Commission, 2017)
This study aimed to link land cover/use change to water quality in an important water supply coastal catchment. The approach followed a spatial and temporal analysis of historical catchment land use change to assess how ...
Erratum to: Post-orogenic shoshonitic magmas of the Yzerfontein pluton, South Africa: the 'smoking gun' of mantle melting and crustal growth during Cape granite genesis?
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
The published version of the original paper contained a Sr isotope analysis of Hornblende-pyroxene quartz monzodiorite sample H25, from the shoshonitic part of the Cambrian Yzerfontein pluton on the West Coast in South ...
The organisation of urban agriculture in Cape Town, South Africa: A social capital perspective
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
This article explores urban agriculture in Cape Town and its organisational forms. Based on a literature review of peerreviewed articles and grey literature, it examines the state of linkages among urban farmers and various ...
Climate change and its influence on the Karst groundwater recharge in the Jinci Spring Region, Northern China
(MDPI, 2017)
Due to climate change and human activities over the last fifty years, the spring flow
volume of karst groundwater has sharply diminished in China. Climate change is one of the critical
factors that initiates a series of ...
Salinity of irrigation water in the Philippi farming area of the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2013)
This paper explores the nature, source and spatial variation of the salinity of water used for irrigation in a coastal urban farming area in Cape Town, South Africa, where water from the Cape Flats aquifer is drawn into ...
