Evaluation of the vulnerability of selected aquifer systems in the Eastern Dahomey basin, South Western Nigeria
(University of the Free State, 2015-01)
This study aimed to evaluate the vulnerability of the shallow aquifer systems of the Dahomey Basin and formulate a simple vulnerability method with which data limited areas (which include the shallow unconfined aquifers ...
Investigating the possibility of targeting major dolerite intrusives to supplement municipal water supply in Bloemfontein: a geophysical approach
(University of the Free State, 2017-02)
The city of Bloemfontein is currently relying on surface water sources for its potable water supply. However, Bloemfontein is located in a semi-arid area, which means that the surface water resources are unreliable and ...
Estimation of representative transmissivities of heterogeneous aquifers
(University of the Free State, 2011-11)
English: The study describes the effect of calculating a generalised mean transmissivity or hydraulic conductivity value for a region or aquifer system as it pertains to South Africa. Resource determination of an area is ...
