Techniques for assessing impacts of projected climate change on agrohydrological responses in the Limpopo catchment.
(2011)Climate detection studies point to changes in global surface temperature and rainfall patterns over the past 100 years, resulting from anthropogenic influences. Studies on the analysis of rainfall patterns [1950 – 1999] ... -
Techniques for assessing the impacts of wetlands on hydrological responses under varying climatic conditions.
(2011)Wetlands are considered sensitive eco-tones that provide numerous goods and services, not only to the communities which are immediately dependent upon them, but also to the many downstream stakeholders who benefit from ... -
The feasibility of automatic on-board weighing systems in the South African sugarcane transport industry.
(2009)Sugarcane hauliers in South Africa have high variations in vehicle payloads, which influence both transport economics and the legitimacy of their operations. Increasing economic pressure due to declining sugar prices and ... -
Tools to assess the ecohydrological impacts of water system innovations
(2009)Water scarce countries such as South Africa are subject to various hydrological constraints, particularly within resource poor farming communities that are reliant on rainfed agriculture. Recent initiatives to address this ... -
Total evaporation estimation from sugarcane using the scintillation technique.
(2006)Ongoing concerns about the efficient and sustainable utilisation of South Africa’s water resources have resulted in much interest regarding the water use of different land uses within a catchment. Research has been focussed ... -
Towards improved parameter estimation in streamflow predictions using the ACRU model.
(2002)An unresolved problem in hydrology has been to establish relationships between catchment attributes and the flow characteristics of the stream. Such information is commonly sought to improve streamflow predictions, often ... -
Understanding agricultural innovation adoption processes and garden scale water use through farmer-driven experimentation
(2008)A holistic approach to agricultural innovation development and extension is needed to -
Validation of a vehicle performance modelling system.
(2007)Transport costs can account for a significant portion of the total production costs in an agricultural system. In order to ensure maximum efficiency of a transport operation, the transport manager is required to select a ... -
The water balance of vermiculite covers on mining wastes in a semi-arid environment.
(2019)Deposition of large quantities of mining waste is an activity that can have a negative impact on surface and ground water resources. These impacts necessitate reclamation and amelioration of the wastes through various ... -
