  • Chapter 9: Conclusion
    CHAPTER 9: CONCLUSION As mentioned earlier in the statement of the problem the Hennops River has gradually deteriorated in terms of its water quality and hydrological conditions over the past three decades. This can mainly be attributed to the catchment’s position which is situated between Johannesburg and Pretoria within the provincial boundaries of Gauteng – the smallest of South Africa’s nine provinces but housing approximately 8,8 million people and regarded as the economic powerhouse of the country. The study area’s associated land use, activities and increasing urbanisation taking place negatively affect the Hennops River and its principal tributaries. Moreover, the river system is the responsibility of a number of local authorities, making co-ordinated planning and management difficult. Owing to the deterioration of the water quality and hydrological conditions of the Hennops River affected parties concerned such as local authorities, residents and business people of Centurion have started considering the Hennops River as a liability instead of the environmental asset with intrinsic values it offers to its surrounding environments. Causes of its deteriorated water quality and hydrological problems needed to be ascertained so that rehabilitative and mitigatory measures could be proposed and it is for this reason that this study was conducted. As such, this study’s main aim was to establish the present water quality condition and hydrological status and condition of the Hennops River. The water’s suitability for aquatic ecosystems well-being was also determined as fish mortalities continue to occur in sections of the Hennops and its principal tributaries. These sections include the upper Hennops River and Centurion Lake forming the centre of Centurion’s CBD.
