Static reservoir modeling using stochastic method: A case study of the cretaceous sequence of Gamtoos Basin, Ofshore, South Africa
(Springer, 2021)
Gamtoos Basin is an echelon sub-basin under the Outeniqua ofshore Basin of South Africa. It is a complex rift-type basin
with both onshore and ofshore components and consists of relatively simple half-grabens bounded by ...
A new modified spatial approach for monitoring non-perennial river water availability using remote sensing in the Tankwa Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa
(AJOL, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers (N-PRs) make up two thirds of all rivers in South Africa, yet many are ungauged.
Traditionally, it has been assumed that when a flow is recorded, there is water throughout that river. These
assumptions ...
Using sap flow data to assess variations in water use and water status of apple orchards of varying age groups in the western cape province of South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2020)
No accurate quantitative information currently exists on how water use of apple (Malus domestica) orchards varies from planting to full-bearing age, leading to poor irrigation and water allocation decision making. This ...
Modeling the geographic spread and proliferation of invasive alien plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems using multi-source data and multiple predictive models in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The geographic spread and proliferation of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems
requires accurate, constant, and frequent monitoring particularly under the changing climate to
ensure the integrity and resilience ...
Antimicrobial resistance screening and profiles: A glimpse from the South African perspective
(IWA Publishing, 2020)
According to the Centre for Disease Dynamics Economics and Policy, South Africa represents a
paradox of antibiotic management similar to other developing countries, with both overuse and
underuse (resulting from lack of ...
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 ...
Evaluating the impact of land use and land cover change on unprotected wetland ecosystems in the arid-tropical areas of South Africa using the Landsat dataset and support vector machine
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
The study explored the impact of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change dynamics in relation to the condition and status of an unprotected wetland located in the arid-tropical parts of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. ...
Transitioning towards a circular bioeconomy in South Africa: Who are the key players?
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2022)
The transition towards a circular economy is becoming a priority in many countries globally. However, the circular bioeconomy has received relatively less attention. In South Africa, the valorisation of organic waste is a ...
Analysis of the fragmented legal regime pertaining to rehabilitation measures for wetlands: A South African perspective – part 1
(WIT Press, 2022)
Wetlands are disappearing and it is an international dilemma. Many efforts have been made to ensure
its protection and conservation, including rehabilitation. Rehabilitation measures have been adopted in
policies of ...
Using the water balance approach to understand pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in the semi-arid areas of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Touws River in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa Study focus: This study sought to improve the understanding of pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers (NPRs) by utilising the water balance approach to assess the ...
