The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible use of groundwater to augment the water supply to the Mangaung Municipality in the Free State Province of South Africa. The municipality is at present experiencing water shortages; as a result the State is currently spending large amounts of money to buy water from Lesotho.
Bloemfontein (the Dutch word meaning 'Fountain of Flowers') is...

The aim of this study was to perform a riparian area aquifer groundwater budget with an objective to estimate water exchange fluxes at an ungagged Modder River groundwater-surface water interaction research site. The study was based on the conceptual and quantitative knowledge on hydrogeological-landscape units, recharge to the riparian-area-aquifer, groundwater evapotranspiration, influx from...

An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in the oil and gas industries. Several factors such as sediment compaction, overburden, lithology characteristic, hydrocarbon pressure and capillary entry pressure contribute...

The internal structure of natural deltaic systems can be analysed through interpretation of vertical logs and seismic sections. If we are to quantitatively investigate the correlation between the internal structures of a delta and the factors influencing them, we should start with simple-case examples. We expect that the complexity of natural deltas be at least as complex as that of artificial...
