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 ...
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 ...
Review: Acid mine drainage (AMD) in abandoned coal mines of Shanxi, China
(MDPI, 2020)
Excessive exploitation and massive coal mine closures have brought about extensive goafs in Shanxi where 8780 coal mines have been abandoned in the last 20 years. Acid mine drainage (AMD) poses severe environmental impact ...
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, ...
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 ...
Foreword to special section: groundwater in Africa
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
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 ...
A comparison of ensemble and deep learning algorithms to model groundwater levels in a data-scarce aquifer of Southern Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Machine learning and deep learning have demonstrated usefulness in modelling various
groundwater phenomena. However, these techniques require large amounts of data to develop
reliable models. In the Southern African ...
Editor’s message: Building capacity and partnerships towards sustainable utilization of groundwater in Africa
(Springer, 2008)
This Editor’s Message advises the international groundwater fraternity of new opportunities in hydrogeological
developments in Africa. It is a fact that groundwater plays
a vital role in socio-economic and ecological ...
