    A revision of the 2004 Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape study Discussion document A research study undertaken for the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning of the Western Cape Provincial Government by Stellenbosch University & CSIR RESEARCH TEAM Dr Adriaan van Niekerk* (Project Manager) Prof Ronnie Donaldson* Mr Danie du Plessis† Mr Manfred Spocter‡ We are thankful to the following persons for their assistance: Ms I Boonzaaier*, Mr Nitesh Poona*, Ms T Smith*, Ms Lodene Willemse* * Centre for Geographical Analysis (CGA), Stellenbosch University † Centre for Regional and Urban Innovation and Statistical Exploration (CRUISE), Stellenbosch University ‡ Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) 17 January 2010 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the objectives of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEA&DP) is to undertake spatial planning that promotes and guides the sustainable future development of the Western Cape province and redresses spatial inequalities. This goal led to the development of the Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF), which identifies the areas of growth in the province and the areas where, in terms of the sustainable development paradigm, growth should be emphasised in the future. It also addresses the form that this growth or development should take and further emphasises the restructuring of urban settlements to facilitate their sustainability. To provide guidance and support for implementing the PSDF, a thorough understanding and knowledge of the characteristics and performances of all the settlements in the province is needed. The aim of this study was to revise and update the Growth Potential Study of Towns in the Western Cape (Van der Merwe et al.

    7. Water Quality

    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.

    EDEN DROUGHT STATUS QUO A DISASTER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE 8 MARCH 2018 BACKGROUND • The Garden Route is prone to natural disasters (floods, fires, drought) this is exacerbated by the imminent threat of climate change that is expected to raise temperatures and reduce rainfall; • The main factors that exacerbate the effects of the disasters include both environmental as well as man-made challenges; • To protect the environment and to respond to potential disasters, some mitigation measures are already in place at local municipal level and on district level a draft Eden Climate Change Adaptation Plan has been compiled and a dedicated Disaster Management Centre, based in George, has been established; • However, a broader approach is required to accelerate the movement to become “the greenest district in Africa” as well as to ensure water security at all local towns in the district; • Water security is a substantial challenge: Many towns in the district only have limited bulk water storage capacity; Alien invasive trees consume up to 5 billion liters of water annually across Eden, and Due to damaged wetlands the natural ability of this “natural barrier” to regulate and filter water is inhibited; LINES OF COMMUNICATION NDMC→PDMC→MDMC NATIONAL CENTRE PROVINCIAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRE 6 REGIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRES DM DM CITY OF DM DM DM CAPE OVERBERG BOLAND EDEN CENTRAL WEST TOWN KAROO COAST PROVINCIAL - SANDF DEPARTMENTS - SAPS - AND OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS - NGO’S 24 LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES - PARASTATALS (ESCOM/SPOORNET/ACSA, ETC)

    Timeline Port Beaufort & Malgas

    TIMELINE FOR PORT BEAUFORT & MALGAS 1488: The Portuguese recognized the Breede River Mouth as the finest natural anchorage on the whole southern seaboard of Africa. 1576: King Sebastian’s navigator, Manuel De Mesquita Perestrello called the bay, St. Sebastian’s Bay, after “Dom Sebastiao, the most serene King of Portugal”, and the west bank “Cape Infanta”. 1790: San Sebastian Bay was surveyed by the French sea captain, Captain Duminy. 1798: During May, the Breede River mouth was visited by Lady Anne Barnard and her husband, who was Colonial Secretary under the British Administration, with Jacob Van Reenen of Slang River. 1800: Landrost Anthonie Faure reported to Governor Sir George Young that the river was suitable for navigation “up to six hours inland, with excellent safe loading – places for small vessels along either bank”. 1802: Baron Von Buchenröder visited San Sebastian’s Bay, crossed the river in a small boat and pronounced it “only three to four feet deep at low tide, thus only suitable for sloops and long flat vessels, such as one sees on the Main, Nekker and Weser in Germany”. He also found an English ship anchored in the Breede River. 1803: Dirk Gysbert Van Reenen gave the same advice (as Baron Von Buchenröder) to General Janssens. 1813: Malagas got its name from the farm belonging to Adriaan Odendaal, “Malagas Craal gelegen aan de Breede River” which took its name from a former Khoikhoi Chief. 1817: It was found that the bar was navigable by vessels displacing not more than six feet of water. Lord Charles Somerset named the east bank of Breede River after the title of his father, the 5th Duke of Beaufort.

  • August 2018 Monthly Report

    August 2018 Monthly Report

    August 2018 Monthly Report During the Month of August, the drought-stricken Conservancy area seemed to have received a reprieve through good rains landing on the Conservancy with 61mm recorded at the Conservancy office (this is considerable compared to the 75.9mm recorded for all the combined months leading up to August from the start of the year). In this issue we report on the usual permit inspection statistics, followed by a story on tortoises, the 2019 student Ranger selection process, a basic firefighting course held at the Conservancy and an interesting find on Veronique’s Roving Creel patrols. We then report on a visit by some Nelson Mandela University Botany research students, some of our alien clearing activities and the many meetings which dominated the month of August. The report then rounds off with our selected monthly species profile which we trust you’ll enjoy. A classic meandering coastal path near Vleesbaai. “All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.” – Chief Seattle 2 AUGUST 2018 Compliance Management Marine Living Resources Act During August a total of 25 recreational fishing, spearfishing and bait collecting permits were checked by Erich and Kei. Of the 25 permits checked, six people (24%) failed to produce a valid permit and were issued a verbal warning. We ask that if you witness fishermen and suspect they are not following the rules and regulations, that you please contact the conservancy immediately. Leave Me. Protect Me. Save Me The tortoise is a terrestrial (land-dwelling) reptile and the world is home to a total of about 43 species, with adults ranging in size from about 10 centimetres to one metre.
