Evaluation of Flood Risks Using Flood Frequency Models: a Case Study of Luvuvhu River Catchment in Limpopo Province, South Africa
This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Flood Risk Management and Response (FRIAR 2016) www.witconferences.com Evaluation of flood risks using flood frequency models: a case study of Luvuvhu River Catchment in Limpopo Province, South Africa L. R. Singo1,2, P. M. Kundu2, F. I. Mathivha2 & J. O. Odiyo2 1Process Technology Department, Rand Water, South Africa 2Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, University of Venda, South Africa Abstract The Luvuvhu River Catchment has experienced floods of varying magnitudes resulting from heavy rainfall associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone and cyclones. Human activities in the catchment have aggravated risks of flooding. Risks of flooding have been experienced in the past, with the major ones occurring during sporadic rainfall events. This study aims to evaluate flood risks through rainfall distribution characteristics in the catchment using flood frequency models. Statistical analyses that include Gumbel and Log- Pearson Type III distributions were selected to perform flood frequency analysis. Peak flood magnitudes for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200-year recurrence intervals were estimated using the two distributions. In peri-urban areas such as the Luvuvhu River Catchment, design life of structures for low risks (10-year return periods) and medium risks (50-year return periods) catchments are important to manage risks. The results showed a general increase in the frequency of extreme events, accompanied by floods of higher magnitude. Design life of structures for low risks and medium risks catchments showed magnitudes in the range of 453.03 mm to 1495.48 mm for Log-Pearson Type III and 454.39 mm to 1370.16 mm for Gumbel’s.

Kruger National Park River Research: a History of Conservation and the ‘Reserve’ Legislation in South Africa (1988-2000)
Kruger National Park river research: A history of conservation and the ‘reserve’ legislation in South Africa (1988-2000) L. van Vuuren 23348674 Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Magister Artium in History at the School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof J.W.N. Tempelhoff May 2017 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the degree of Masters of Arts in the subject group History, School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle Faculty, North-West University. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. L. van Vuuren May 2017 i ABSTRACT Like arteries in a human body, rivers not only transport water and life-giving nutrients to the landscape they feed, they are also shaped and characterised by the catchments which they drain.1 The river habitat and resultant biodiversity is a result of several physical (or abiotic) processes, of which flow is considered the most important. Flows of various quantities and quality are required to flush away sediments, transport nutrients, and kick- start life processes in the freshwater ecosystem. South Africa’s river systems are characterised by particularly variable flow regimes – a result of the country’s fluctuating climate regime, which varies considerably between wet and dry seasons. When these flows are disrupted or diminished through, for example, direct water abstraction or the construction of a weir or dam, it can have severe consequences on the ecological process which depend on these flows.

Water Risks of Coal Driven Mega Projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ
Water risks of coal driven mega projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ Figure 1. Artist impression of proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) between Musina and Makhado (from EMSEZ website). Victor Munnik, Society Work and Politics (SWOP) Institute, University of the Witwatersrand May 2020 1 Preface The proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) threat in Makhado is both a huge risk to water users and the environment in the Limpopo valley, and difficult to take seriously, since it has so many irrational aspects. For that reason many NGO researchers have been reluctant to become involved in a complicated issue in what could be a waste of time and money. A word of thanks is thus due to Richard Worthington at Friedrich Ebert Foundation who commissioned this piece in order to get this work done. I sincerely hope that this will be useful to fellow activists and to decision makers. This report focuses specifically on the water aspects of the EMSEZ, which I believe is a major threat, although together with other activists I wonder about the likelihood of the EMSEZ plans. The Mokolo Crocodile West Augmentation Project (MCWAP) is also discussed in this report, as an example of how fossil fuel development can still have dire water implications five decades after the start of coal mining and coal fired power generation, and a caution that even failed mega projects, as the EMSEZ is likely to be, have a cost to people and the environment. This report relies on a close reading of the Department of Water and Sanitation’s 2016 Limpopo Water Management Area North Reconciliation Strategy, as well as the October 2018 DWS Master Plan.

The effects of the remote El Nino phenomenon in the equatorial Pacific Ocean are significant in the northeast of South Africa resulting in frequent drought. In all South Africa, this region is the most vulnerable to land falling tropical cyclones from the southwest Indian Ocean and the Mozambique Channel. Several modelling studies have found a significant future climate change signal in Limpopo. Whilst rainfall is enhanced in the upper Luvuvhu River Catchment due to orographic effects, a key question is whether this pattern will be altered under climate change.
