A demographic perspective on a municipality allows to observe not only simple changes in population growth, but also to look at other various developments that influence the social life of every citizen. Demographics allow to emphasise aspects of society like, e.g. gender, race, migration or life expectancy. Decisions made by politicians as well as by the administration affect in almost every case at least one aspect of Demographics. -

Potential for Integration of Distributed Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Drakenstein Municipality EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TECHNICAL REPORT ZA 2015 Energy Potential for integration of distributed solar photovoltaic systems in Drakenstein municipality EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Using Drakenstein Municipality as a case study, this report analyses the potential impacts of the installation of roof top PV by residential and industrial users on the municipal revenue generated by electricity sales. Secondly, the report investigates the potential for Municipalities to play a more pro-active role in rolling out of distributed energy to address electricity constraints and generate income. This is done through an analysis of three municipal buildings to determine their suitability for rooftop PV followed by a pre-feasibility report (both technical and financial) in respect of the optimal building selected. The overall analysis of solar potential of the area shows that a typical site within the Drakenstein Municipality has a fair solar resource and PV yield. If a PV array is installed within the municipal area, orientated to the north and inclined at an optimised angle of 29°, a performance ratio of approximately 77% is achieved. The high temperature in the summer months reduces the efficiency of the PV panels and the presence of Paarl Mountain limits the late afternoon generation capacity. However, in comparison to other sites in South Africa, a typical site in the area of focus has a good solar yield. Using available data from two case studies, one residential and one industrial user, together with an additional analysis, the maximum amount of PV that can be installed in the Drakenstein municipal district before grid studies are needed is quantified. The electricity generated from this calculated installed PV capacity is compared with the load profiles at the substations, where load data was available, to evaluate the impact of such PV installations. -
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. -

326 S.AfrJ.Bot., 1992, 58(5): 326 - 336 Systematics of the southern African Lapeirousia corymhosa complex (Iridaceae-Ixioideae), with L. neglecta sp. nov. Peter Goldblatt B.A. Krukoff Curator of African Botany, Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166, U.S.A. and John C. 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.
