An assessment of canopy and litter interception in commercial and indigenous forests in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa.
(2011)Understanding of the hydrological cycle and processes such as interception span as far back as the times of the Renaissance, when Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) first described it. However, there remains a gap in the knowledge ... -
Balancing water for food and environment : hydrological determinants across scales in the Thukela River Basin.
(2008)In this study, geophysical measurements (Electrical Resistivity Tomography-ERT) and remote sensing techniques were applied in the Thukela river basin at various scales to complement the classical hydrometeorological ... -
Challenges in modelling hydrological responses to impacts and interactions of land use and climate change.
(2012)To meet society’s needs for water, food, fuel and fibre the natural land cover throughout the world has been extensively altered. These alterations have impacted on hydrological responses and thus on available water ... -
Degradation of ecological infrastructure and its rehabilitation for improved water security.
(2018)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Ground and satellite-based assessment of hydrological responses to land cover change in the Kilombero River Basin, Tanzania.
(2013)Changes in land use and land cover are a global issue of concern, especially with regard to possible impacts on biophysical processes which affect the hydrological functioning of a system. Tanzania is no exception to ... -
The hydrological basis for the protection of water resources to meet environmental and societal requirements.
(2006)In common with other natural systems, aquatic ecosystems provide a wealth of economically valuable services and long-term benefits to society. However, growing human populations, coupled with increased aspirations for ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
