    DIRECTIONS TO BOUCHARD FINLAYSON: 1. The quickest way from Cape Town: 1hour 15 minutes Take N2 from Cape Town, direction Caledon and George, past Cape Town International Airport, through Somerset West and over Sir Lowry's Pass. After about 75km, after going over a 2nd mountain pass, Houw Hoek Pass, the N2 forks left into the R43 - signposted and marked "Hermanus/Kleinmond".

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Project Proposal for Transforming Grabouw, Western Cape, Into A
    Project Proposal for Transforming Grabouw, Western Cape, into a Sustainable Community By Gareth Haysom Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy, in the School of Public Management and Planning at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Professor Mark Swilling December 2007 I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ………………………………… Date: ………………………………. 2 Copyright © 2007 Stellenbosch University Abstract Cities and in particular, secondary cities are fast emerging as the dominant form of human settlement. Considering the anticipated growth in the population and the expected global economic growth, what role will cities play in addressing the core issues pertaining to sustainable development? Will cities be able to address these issues at all? Addressing the sustainability of cities is about focussing on addressing the key issues of form and function. These, coupled with the specific social interactions, the cultural and political actions, are the drivers that need to be harnessed, integrated and reworked if cities are to be sustainable in any way. Without a collective and concerted drive to make direct inputs into the three main drivers of a city; planning and design, the resource use and inputs and the social interactions within cities, no efforts to address the hope of leaving legacies of resources for future generations will be realised. If these efforts do not originate in, and grow out of cities, cities will not support, but rather undermine, any attempts at achieving sustainable development.

  • 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.

This region has a rich variety of rivers from fast-fl owing, low salinity, acidic Flood protection measures and construction within the river channels have modifi ed clearwater rivers in the west, to slower fl owing, more turbid and saline rivers on the Agulhas Plain that are associated with riverbanks (straightened channels and levees). This has resulted in habitat loss and change a number of inland water bodies and wetlands. to the riparian zone and reduced aquatic species diversity. Modifi cation of the Nuwejaars River bank by alien trees prior to 2005 fl oods The main land-use in the west is the cultivation of cereal crops (wheat and barley) and canola. Other land-use in this area Instream dams and water abstraction have modifi ed river fl ows and altered downstream includes livestock farming (sheep, cattle and ostriches), commercial forestry (pine plantations) and irrigated agriculture channels. The attenuation of small fl oods by instream dams has narrowed river (fruit), especially in the Palmiet and Bot river catchments. The fruit farms in the Elgin Valley are the largest exporter of channels and encouraged further invasion of alien trees, particularly in the Nuwejaars apples and pears in southern Africa.
