An assessment of scale issues related to the configuration of the ACRU model for design flood estimation
(2010)
There is a frequent need for estimates of design floods by hydrologists and engineers for the design of hydraulic structures. There are various techniques for estimating these design floods which are dependent largely on ...
An assessment of satellite derived total evaporation data as a data source to the ACRU hydrological model.
(2014)
Hydrological models and tools are often used as decision support systems to inform water resources management. The successful application of these systems is largely dependent on the quality of data being incorporated into ...
Detecting and assessing the impacts of outlier events and data availability on design rainfall and flood estimation in South Africa.
(2021)
Accurate Design Rainfall Estimation (DRE) and Design Flood Estimation (DFE) require long
periods of quality-controlled data for the planning, design, operation, and improved flood risk
assessment of hydraulic structures. ...
Assessing the performance of techniques for disaggregating daily rainfall for design flood estimation in South Africa.
(2020)
Design Flood Estimation (DFE) and other hydrological modelling methods are used to limit
the risk of failure and ensure the safe design of infrastructure and for the planning and
management of water resources. The temporal ...
Water-use of commercial bamboo species in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
(2020)
Abstract available in pdf.
Assessing the effects of site preparation treatments on erosion processes and sediment yield on a commercial Eucalyptus plantation: case study at Two Streams, KwaZulu-Natal.
(2020)
Soil erosion monitoring and modelling is critical in the face of climate change, as erosion is
detrimental to environmental and human health. It reduces soil productivity through
degradation, compromises water quality ...
An adaptive operational water resources management framework for the Crocodile River catchment, South Africa.
(2014)
River catchments are complex STEEP (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political) systems requiring an integrated and adaptive approach to their water resources management with input from diverse stakeholders ...
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. ...
Impact of SOx and NOx deposition on the leaching behaviour of soils and water quality in the South African highveld.
(2014)
Atmospheric emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides lead to the formation of acid rain, which, when deposited, can result in soil and water acidification. Cases of soil and water acidification have been reported in temperate ...
The development and evaluation of an operating rule framework for the ACRU agrohydrological modelling system.
(2001)
Dams hold numerous benefits for society through their ability to store water on a long-term basis.
However, it is well-known that there is a detrimental effect of dams on the rivers that they
impound, and this has been ...
