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.

Chapter Four a Needs Analysis for Health Interventions – Case Study of Kayamandi
CHAPTER FOUR A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH INTERVENTIONS – CASE STUDY OF KAYAMANDI 4.1 Introduction In the 1980s, the WHO emphasised that health and well-being of individuals are closely connected with social, cultural, physical, economic and other factors inside living areas or towns (Burlington, 2005). Against this background, it can be assumed that individuals living and growing up in extremely impoverished settings should therefore have the greatest need for health interventions that will enhance and strengthen their health and well-being. In regard to the intervention presented in this thesis, and undertaken in a very impoverished community, a needs analysis was outlined beforehand to 1) identify prevalent risks and resources in the specific setting, 2) immure the intervention in its surrounding and 3) adequately adjust the life-orientated modules for its participants. The information for the needs analysis was drawn from regular field trips and field reports, an extensive literature review (e.g. maps, official statistics, published and unpublished articles), and photographic documentation. The methodology for the needs analysis is described in chapter 6. The following section describes the particular case of Kayamandi (translated as ‘pleasant home’) in order to highlight the social, health, security and educational infrastructures in a disadvantaged community6 in South Africa that have resulted from historic, socio-economic, as well as political processes in the country. 4.2 The History and Geographical Development of Kayamandi The town Stellenbosch is located 30 kilometres east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province. It is the second oldest town (founded in 1679) in South Africa (Dennerlein & Adami, 2004), and historically a centre of Afrikanerdom during Apartheid in which the university played a central role in educating the Apartheid elite.

Large Scale Quantification of Aquifer Storage and Volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the Southwestern Cape
Large scale quantification of aquifer storage and volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the southwestern Cape Dylan Blake*, Andiswa Mlisa and Chris Hartnady Umvoto Africa (Pty) Ltd,PO Box 61, Muizenberg, 7950, Western Cape, South Africa Abstract The Western Cape Province of South Africa is a relatively water-scarce area as a result of the Mediterranean climate experienced. Due to the increased usage of groundwater, and the requirement to know how much water is available for use, it is imperative as a 1st step to establish an initial estimate of groundwater in storage. The storage capacity, namely, the total available storage of the different aquifers, and the storage yield of the fractured quartzitic Peninsula and Skurweberg Formation aquifers of the Table Mountain Group (TMG), are calculated with a spreadsheet and Geographic Information System (GIS) model. This model is based on the aquifer geometry and estimated values (based on measured data) for porosity and specific storage (calculated using the classic Jacob relation). The aquifer geometry is calculated from 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 geological contacts, faults and major fractures, with dips and aquifer formation thickness calculated through structural geology 1st principles using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Balanced geological cross-sections constructed through the model areas provide an important check for the aquifer top and bottom surface depth values produced by the GIS model. The storage modelling undertaken here forms part of the City of Cape Town TMG Aquifer Feasibility Study and Pilot Project, with modelling focusing on the 3 main groundwater target areas at Theewaterskloof (Nuweberg), Wemmershoek and Kogelberg-Steenbras.

Who Lived in the Stellenbosch Winelands Before 1652?
WHO LIVED IN THE STELLENBOSCH WINELANDS BEFORE 1652? This short essay describes what is currently known about the archaeology and history of the Stone Age people who lived in the vicinity of Stellenbosch and adjacent Winelands in the Western Cape before European colonisation. When and where did the human story begin? There is abundant archaeological evidence from stone tools, and a few human remains, that Stone Age hunter-gatherer people lived in the Western Cape for about a million years. As yet, there is no evidence in this region for the earliest stone tools and fossil hominin remains that date to between 1 and at least 3 million years ago in the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng, Limpopo and North-West provinces. It is not clear whether this is a result of a limited ecological range in which the early hominins lived, or of the absence of suitable geological formations for the preservation of bone. What do we mean by the Stone Age? The Stone Age was the time when most of the tools that hunter-gatherer people used were made by striking one stone against another – a hammerstone against a core – so that sharp edges were created on the sides of the core and on the flakes that were detached. Many fine-grained rocks will produce flakes with edges that are sharper than a metal knife, but stone becomes blunt much more quickly than metal. Archaeologists focus on stone tools as the primary source of evidence for the presence of people in the landscape in the past because the tools are almost indestructible and therefore are often all that is left behind after bones, wood, plant remains and shells have disintegrated.

Finding a new identity for a township club – the case of the Mighty 5 1 Star in Stellenbosch Sylvain Cubizolles* Laboratoire DIMPS, De´partement STAPS, UFR SHE, Universite´ de La Re´union This article analyses how football membership has been transformed in Kayamandi, a township situated on the outskirts of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It focuses on the rationales behind membership in the Mighty 5 Star, a Kayamandi amateur club created in 1972, in order to understand the changing interrelationships between the club and the neighbour- hood. Based on participatory observations, written sources published by the club on the internet, as well as interviews, this article discusses the various membership processes between the club and the players from 1972 to 2011, characterising the social and urban rationales that have structured and organised them, and situating those rationales, whenever possible, in the history of the political and social changes in South Africa since 1972.

Impacts of Alien Plant Invasions on Water Resources and Yields from the Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS)
Impacts of alien plant invasions on water resources and yields from the Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS) David Le Maitre1,2*, André Görgens3, Gerald Howard3 and Nick Walker3,4,5 1Natural Resources and the Environment, CSIR, Stellenbosch 2Centre for Invasion Biology, Department of Botany and Zoology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa 3Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa 4ERM, One Castle Park, Tower Hill, Bristol, United Kingdom 5Institute of Water Studies, University of the Western Cape, Bellville, South Africa ABSTRACT A key motivation for managing invasive alien plant (IAP) species is their impacts on streamflows, which, for the wetter half of South Africa, are about 970 m3∙ha−1∙a−1 or 1 444 mill. m3∙a−1 (2.9% of naturalised mean annual runoff), comparable to forest plantations. However, the implications of these reductions for the reliability of yields from large water supply systems are less well known. The impacts on yields from the WCWSS were modelled under three invasion scenarios: ‘Baseline’ invasions; increased invasions by 2045 under ‘No management’; and under ‘Effective control’ (i.e. minimal invasions). Monthly streamflow reductions (SFRs) by invasions were simulated using the Pitman rainfall−runoff catchment model, with taxon- specific mean annual and low-flow SFR factors for dryland (upland) invasions and crop factors for riparian invasions. These streamflow reduction sequences were input into the WCWSS yield model and the model was run in stochastic mode for the three scenarios. The 98% assured total system yields were predicted to be ±580 million m3∙a−1 under ‘Effective control’, compared with ±542 million m3∙a−1 under ‘Baseline’ invasions and ±450 mill.
