Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.

  • Extreme Rainfall Distributions: Analysing Change in the Western Cape
    Extreme Rainfall Distributions: Analysing change in the Western Cape JAN DE WAAL BSc(Hons) 16848861 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MSc (in Geography and Environmental Studies) at Stellenbosch University. SUPERVISOR: Dr JN Kemp CO-SUPERVISOR: Mr A Chapman 2012 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this research report electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii ABSTRACT Severe floods in the Western Cape have caused significant damage to hydraulic structures, roads and other infrastructure over the past decade. The current design criteria for these structures and flood return level calculations are based on the concept of stationarity, which assumes that natural systems vary within an envelope of variability that does not change with time. In the context of regional climate change and projected changes in rainfall intensity, the basis for these calculations may become unrealistic with the passage of time. Hydraulic structures and other infrastructure may become more vulnerable to damaging floods because of changing hydroclimatic conditions. This project assesses the changes in extreme rainfall values over time across the Western Cape, South Africa. Using a Generalised Pareto Distribution, this study examines the changes in return levels across the Western Cape region for the periods 1900-1954 and 1955-2010.

  • Regional Profile Western Cape
    Volume THREE Chapter FIVE Regional Profile Western Cape I OVERVIEW OF THE REGION 1 The region referred to as the western Cape for the purposes of this report comprises the western part of the old Cape Province – that is, the areas now covered by the Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces. In the past, the northern regions contained some of the larger fragments of the ‘independent state’ of Bophutha- tswana. The region has international borders with Namibia and Botswana. For the remainder of this chapter, the term ‘western Cape’ is used to include what is now the Northern Cape, unless otherwise specified. The Western Cape province 2 According to the 1995 government statistics, the province now known as the Western Cape has a population of 3.7 million people, comprising 9 per cent of South Africa’s total population. The major languages are Afrikaans (62.5 per cent home language), English (20 per cent) and Xhosa (15.3 per cent). The 1995 figures also reveal that the majority population group in the region is coloured (at 57.1 per cent), followed by white (23.8 per cent) and African (18.2 per cent). Relatively few Asians are present in the province (0.9 per cent). The Western Cape has the second highest degree of urbanisation (86.5 per cent) of all provinces. While it has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in the country, the region is marked by extreme inequalities. Three sub-regions can be distinguished, namely the Cape Peninsula, Boland and surrounds, and Southern Cape. 3 Around 68 per cent of the population of the province (2.5 million people) live in the Cape Peninsula area.

  • Cultural Transformation Process
    CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION PROCESS • This process sets out to review existing policies on arts, culture and heritage presently utilised by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport of the Western Cape Provincial Government. • The national White Paper on Arts, Culture and Heritage has been utilised by the Department as the guide to practice. • After the dawn of our new democracy in 1994 we need to reassess our progress and learn from the lessons of the past years. This policy provides a new vision and policy direction for the Department and its statutory bodies. It was decided at a Western Cape Provincial Cabinet Lekgotla that the MEC for Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation, should host a Cultural Transformation Indaba during August 2004 for most of the stakeholders in the arts, culture and heritage sphere in the Western Cape. The purpose of the indaba was to provide a platform for interactive debate in order to kick-start the development of transformed policies that aid efficient and effective service delivery in the arts, culture and heritage field in line with the vision of Cabinet to “make the Western Cape a home for all”. At the indaba the way forward was divided into various phases: • A consolidated report on the indaba would be provided by the facilitators. • The deliberations at the indaba would be taken into account by the Department in the development of its strategic plans. • A reference group would be appointed by the Department to assist in the drafting of the policy. • The draft policy itself. • A Cultural Impact Conference would be held at the Cape Town Convention Centre.
