Effects of soil carbon and ambient carbon dioxide concentrations on hydrological processes: a modelling study.
(2020)Abstract available in PDF. -
Development and assessment of an ensemble joint probability event based approach for design flood estimation in South Africa.
(2019)It has been reported that global climate change has impacted on the frequency as well as severity of flood events. Reliable flood estimates are required for managing and designing hydraulic structures, which is essential ... -
Estimation of water use efficiency of soybean (glycine max) for biodiesel production in KwaZulu-Natal.
(2020)Abstract available in pdf. -
Investigation of the potential use of the root-zone storage concept in hydrological modelling under South African conditions.
(2019)Hydrological models are currently an accepted method used in determining the impacts of Streamflow reduction activities (SFRA) in South Africa. However, the limited availability of soils and rooting depth data create high ... -
Development and assessment of an improved continuous simulation modelling system for design flood estimation in South Africa using the ACRU model.
(2019)An estimate of the risk associated with flood events is required to adequately design hydraulic structures and limit negative socio-economic impacts as a result of floods. The methods used to estimate design floods in South ... -
An assessment of the water use of indigenous and introduced tree SPP. and varying land uses around Vasi Pan, Maputaland, KwaZulu-Natal.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Assessment of satellite derived rainfall and its use in the ACRU hydrological model.
(2017)Many parts of southern Africa are considered water scarce regions. Therefore, sound management and decision making is important to achieve maximum usage with sustainability of the precious resource. Hydrological models are ... -
Degradation of ecological infrastructure and its rehabilitation for improved water security.
(2018)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Water-use dynamics of alien plant invaded riparian forests in South Africa.
(2018)In South Africa the invasion of riparian forests by alien trees has the potential to affect the country’s limited water resources. It is difficult for government initiatives, such as the Working for Water (WfW) alien ... -
Reforestation effects on soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes from a former sugarcane plantation in buffelsdraai reforestation site, South Africa.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Development of a small-scale in-field integrated postharvest citrus treatment unit.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The effect of the Lions River floodplain on downstream water quality.
(2015)Wetlands provide important ecosystem services, including the purification of water. The uMngeni catchment is an important basin providing water to the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban, South Africa’s second largest ... -
Developing a method to estimate the water use of South African natural vegetation using remote sensing.
(2016)The scarcity of water is a growing concern throughout the world. It is essential to accurately determine the quantity and quality of this valuable resource to aid in water resource planning and management. For this purpose ... -
The potential impacts of up-scaled rainwater harvesting on ecosystem goods and services in the Potshini and Makanya catchments.
(2016)Water scarcity is fast becoming a global concern, with at least each continent facing water-related issues regarding quantity, quality and delivery. An estimated 8.8% of South Africans do not have access to potable water, ... -
Development and assessment of rules to parameterise the ACRU model for design flood estimation.
(2015)Design Flood Estimation (DFE) is essential in the planning and design of hydraulic structures. Recent flooding in the country has highlighted the need to review the techniques used to estimate design floods in South Africa, ... -
Assessing the performance of regional flood frequency analysis methods in South Africa.
(2015)In engineering and flood hydrology, the estimation of a design flood refers to procedures whereby the magnitude of a flood is associated with a level of risk at a given site (Pegram and Parak, 2004). The use of a Regional ... -
Comparison between satellite-based and cosmic ray probe soil moisture estimates : a case study in the Cathedral Peak catchment.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
An evaluation of priority and fractional methods of water allocation in the sand river catchment, South Africa.
(2014)The development and apportionment of water resources is a critical issue, both globally and locally in South Africa. This is particularly true in the development and allocation among states sharing watercourse systems. ... -
Estimation of catchment response time in medium to large catchment in South Africa.
