Introduction Viridian Consulting Landscape Architects (hereafter ‘Viridian/the Landscape Architect’) was approached by Liana Jansen on behalf of the Stellenbosch Municipality (hereafter ‘the Client’) to produce Viewsheds for the Scenic Routes mapped in the Heritage Inventory of, and Management Plan for, the Tangible Heritage Resources in the Stellenbosch Municipality (hereafter ‘The Project’) in August 2018. 1.1 Purpose of this Report This report provides an overview of the scope and requirements of the brief; and aims to provide the project leader with enough information to take decisions based on the submission of the Visibility Analysis. The report includes the assumptions and limitations under which the work was undertaken and qualifies the deliverable in terms of the expectations outlined in the brief. 1.2 Terms of Reference a.) Scope The Client required high-level Visibility Analysis in the form of Viewsheds for the following Scenic Routes as per the Heritage Inventory, accessible as the Stellenbosch Heritage Inventory Online Map: Scenic Route Grading Length (lm) Bottelary: B1 Grade II 899 Bottelary: B2 Grade IIIb 4240 Bottelary: B3 Grade IIIa 1796 Bottelary: B4 Grade II 4862 Bottelary: B5 Grade IIIb 4012 Bottelary: B6 Grade IIIa 9465 Bottelary: B7 Grade IIIa 2130 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK1 Grade II 5287 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK2 Grade IIIa 4347 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK3 Grade IIIa 5059 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK4 Grade IIIa 3185 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK5 Grade II 3797 Klapmuts & Krom River: KK6 Grade II 1339 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/C1 Grade IIIb 4280 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/H1 Grade IIIa 4280 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/H2 Grade IIIa 1470 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/H3 Grade IIIa 6903 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/H4 Grade II 3086 Eerste River Central & Helderberg: ER/H5 Grade II 7403 Jonkershoek: J1 Grade II 8543 Ida's Valley & Dwars River: I/DR1 Grade II 11390 Ida's Valley & Dwars River: I/DR2 Grade II 2055 Ida's Valley & Dwars River: I/DR3 Grade IIIa 3403 Franschoek: FH1 Grade IIIb 4371 Franschoek: FH2 Grade IIIa 1721 Franschoek: FH3 Grade IIIb 6582 Franschoek: FH4 Grade II 4872 Franschoek: FH5 Grade II 3012 Franschoek: FH6 Grade II 2669 Franschoek: FH7 Grade II 15382 The deliverables to be submitted as per the Fees Proposal are the following: • Vector files delineating the combined Viewshed coverage of each Scenic route for further graphic and data processing by the Project Team. 2 Visual Study August 2018 • The data supporting the combined Viewsheds in Keyhole Markup language (.kmz) format; this being the viewsheds generated every 200 m along the scenic routes. The total amount of viewsheds per Scenic route area grouping is specified below. Scenic Route Area Grouping Estimated no of Viewsheds Bottelary 137 Klapmuts & Krom River 115 Eerste River Central & Helderberg 120 Jonkershoek 43 Ida's Valley & Dwars River 84 Franschoek 193 Total 692* *This number is based on the calculations done prior to commencement of work – the actual number of viewsheds may total slightly more or less than this number. b.) Assumptions Based on the information received and available at the time of the writing of this report and the creation of the Viewsheds, the following assumptions are made: Viewshed Parameters The Visibility Analysis is done for the benefit of understanding the nature and significance of the various Scenic Routes. For the purposes of this study, the assumption is that because the routes are based on those of vehicular roads - most receivers will access the views offered by Scenic Routes from a moving vehicle. In addition, the number of viewers accessing the views from a moving vehicle as a driver or a passenger will therefore also outnumber those of people on foot, whether mobile or stationary. For this reason, the height of the receiver above Natural Ground Level was assumed to be lower on average than the standard 1,8m commonly used to calculate viewsheds. The following lists the parameters used to produce the Viewsheds: Viewshed Parameter Value Transmitter Elevation 1,5 m above Ground Transmission angle range of -89,9° to Receiver Elevation 89,9° above the horizon, checked at natural ground level Atmospheric Correction 1.3333· View Radius 15 km Sample spacing 20 x 20 m Number of Viewsheds per Scenic Route Viewsheds were generated every 200 lm along the totality of the Scenic Routes. This density was decided on in collaboration with the Project team to generate accurate enough high-level viewsheds for the purposes of the current Project; as well as to match the budget available for the Visibility Analysis component. The assumption is that 200m will accommodate both a 2 – 3 second glance at a view for a driver, as well as more sustained and active looking at views from passengers or NMT commuters lasting up to 10 seconds. Accuracy of the GIS Software Global Mapper V18.2 was used to generate the Viewsheds. The assumption is that the data produced are accurate depictions of what the true scope of the Line of Site (LoS) is on the ground and in reality. For future Visibility Analysis, the authors encourage a more in-depth study to be considered by the 3 Visual Study August 2018 Stellenbosch Municipality – this would include the use of the DEMSA2 dataset and an allocation of funds toward the specialist study for more accurate Viewsheds and a far more thorough Visibility Analysis. c.) Limitations Based on the information received and available at the time of the writing of this report and the creation of the Viewsheds, the following limitations apply to this study: • The Visibility Analysis was conducted with a basic Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the study area; this means that buildings, vegetation and other features on the earth’s surface other than natural topography do not feature as visual barriers or obstructions during the calculation of the viewsheds. • While the composite viewshed provides an estimation of all potential Lines of Sight (LoS) along the Scenic Route, it does not necessarily represent the viewshed of each individual point – the data submitted does however remain in separate viewsheds with an opacity of 50 – 75%, showing areas that are covered by more than one viewshed overlapping to be more opaque, and areas with less overlap being more translucent, respectively. • As this study needed to fulfil the requirements of a high-level viewshed Visibility Analysis only, both time- and budget-related constraints precluded the use of the DEMSA2 dataset (South Africa’s singular and most accurate Digital Surface Model (DSM)). This has a significant effect on the absolute accuracy of finer-grained LoS and Visibility studies. • The fineness of the Viewsheds are determined by the sample spacing. This is determined by available budget and timeframe constraints. A 20m by 20m sample was deemed fine enough for the purposes of this exercise. But if further studies are done to refine the Visibility analysis, a more human-related scale of 10m by 10m or less should be considered. • The nature of this exercise did not include for cross-checking the accuracy and extents of Viewsheds with peers and/or site-visits. d.) Information at hand The following information was provided and available at the time of the writing of this report and the creation of the Viewsheds: Provided Access to the Stellenbosch Heritage Inventory Online Map Project Background and relevant information including: • Keyhole Markup Language files of the Scenic Routes • Keyhole Markup Language files of the Landscape Character Units directly associated with the Scenic Routes Available: The data required to conduct the high-level Visibility Analysis was available through the following platforms: • Google Earth • ASTER GDEM v2 Worldwide Elevation Data (1 arc-second Resolution) 4 Appendix 4: Viridian Visibility Analysis with the viewshed of each scenic route 1.

Manning National Botanical Institute, Kirstenbosch, Private Bag X7, Claremont, 7735 Republic of South Africa Received 4 December 1991; revised 21 May 1992 Circumscription of Lapeirousia corymbosa, type species of subgenus Paniculata section Fastigiata, previously regarded as comprising three subspecies, is restricted to plants with small blue (or white) flowers with symmetrical white' markings, and usually symmetrically disposed stamens. Subsp. fastigiata is elevated to species rank as L. fastigiata, and comprises plants with large yellow, actinomorphic flowers. Lapeirousia azurea, until now included in subsp. fastigiata, is treated as a separate species for plants with large dark blue, zygomorphic, and typically resupinate flowers. Field studies indicate that L. corymbosa subsp. alta is a distinct species, here described as L. neglecta. Floral morphology differs consistently in each species, as do aspects of leaf, capsule and seed morphology. Comparison of seeds in the two sections of subgenus Paniculata shows that species of section Fastigiata are derived in their smaller, reticulate (to rugose), ovoid seeds with a large funicular appendage. Seeds of section Paniculata accord closely with those of the presumed outgroup, Savannosiphon: they are comparatively large, smooth to rugulose and have a small appendage. Lapeirousia neglecta has seeds and chromosome morphology characteristic of section Paniculata, and it is now assigned to that section. The addition of L.

Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved USING THE STANDARDISED PRECIPITATION INDEX TO DETERMINE THE SEVERITY, DURATION, AND FREQUENCY OF DROUGHT EVENTS IN THE WESTERN CAPE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM AREA Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii ABSTRACT Droughts are significant climate events, that can have severe consequences and impacts on the planning and operation of water supplies, but the lack of consistent quantification and monitoring of droughts means that water resource managers often do not have information readily available to inform and assist with decision making in responding to droughts. The drought experienced in Cape Town, South Africa, during 2015 – 2020 saw storages rapidly depleting and severe restrictions needing to be implemented to ensure that water supplies did not fail. Additional information to understand the onset and severity of the drought as early as possible could have assisted with water resource management.

    Franschhoek can be divided into three distinct areas according to its landscape and associated features. The three main H FRANSCHHOEK elements that form the boundaries of these areas are the various sets of mountains, river networks and roads (see Landscape Character diagram). Views that constantly change Areas as one moves through the area add to the complexity of Franschhoek as a cultural landscape. Patterns are predominantly influenced by the presence of vineyards and remnant plantations on the higher mountainous slopes.
