Mainstreaming adaptation to climate change into decision making in the water sector : concepts and case studies from South Africa.
(2015)Abstract available in Pdf file. -
Performance of irrigation and water management systems in the lowveld of Zimbabwe.
(2004)In order to assess the performance of water management approaches and irrigation systems used by the sugar industry in the Lowveld of Zimbabwe, a sugarcane yield and irrigation systems simulation model was developed. The ... -
Rainwater harvesting systems and their influences on field scale soil hydraulic properties, water fluxes and crop production.
(2009)South Africa, in common with many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, is facing increasing water shortages. Limited available water arising from a low and poorly distributed rainfall, must supply domestic, agricultural, industrial ... -
Refinement of modelling tools to assess potential agrohydrological impacts of climate change in southern Africa.
(2001)Changes in climate due to anthropogenic influences are expected to affect both hydrological and agricultural systems in southern Africa. Studies on the potential impacts of climate change on agrohydrological systems had ... -
Transient pressure waves in hillslopes.
(2013)Previous studies found that during a rainfall event, pre-event water, which exists in the catchment before the event, may appear in significant amounts in the stream stormflow hydrograph. Pre-event water is predominantly ... -
Water temperature and fish distribution in the Sabie River system : towards the development of an adaptive management tool.
(2003)Water temperatures are a fundamental water quality component, and a key abiotic determinant of fish distribution patterns in rivers. A river 's thermal regime is the product of a multitude of thermal drivers and buffers ... -
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 ... -
Wetland geomorphology and floodplain dynamics on the hydrologically variable Mfolozi River, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
(2008)Wetlands in southern Africa can be considered a rarity, forming despite a regional negative water balance and a continental background of wide scale incision. These particular characteristics lead to southern African ...
