BACKGROUND This study entitled “Classification of Significant Water Resources (River, Wetlands, Groundwater and Lakes) in the Upper, Middle and Lower Vaal Water Management Areas (WMA) 8,9,10” was commissioned by the Chief Directorate Resource Directed Measures (RDM) of the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) in October 2010. The ultimate purpose of the study is the implementation of the Water Resource Classification System (WRCS) in the above-mentioned three Vaal WMAs according to the 7 step process proposed by the WRCS (DWAF, 2007) as described in Figure D-1 of Appendix D. The main objective of this document is to describe the assumptions and database used for the water resource analyses undertaken for this study as part of Steps 5 and 6 of the WRCS (see Figure D-1) and to summarise the results presented to the Ecological and Socio-Economic Team for further evaluation. 2. STUDY AREA The core of the study area consists of the Upper, Middle and Lower Vaal River Water Management Areas (WMAs), however, due to the numerous inter-basin transfers that link this core area with other WMAs, the water resource assessments had to be undertaken in the context of the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS) which also includes portions of the Komati, Usutu, Thukela, Senqu River (located in Lesotho) and Upper Orange (Riet-Modder River) catchments. The study area, therefore, comprises of the water resource and bulk supply systems of the entire Integrated Vaal River System as shown in Figure A-1 of Appendix A. A detailed description of the IVRS and its operation is provided in Section 2. It is important to note that the Riet-Modder catchment, which forms part of the Orange River WMA, is not included in the study area. Water Resource Analysis Report May 2012 v Classification of Significant Water Resources in the Upper Middle and Lower Vaal WMAs WR Ana lys is Report 3. DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR IVRS Due to the highly developed nature of the IVRS and the various inter-basin transfers that exist in the system, operating rules were developed that regulate when and how much water is transferred. The management and implementation of these operating rules (which include the dilution of the TDS concentration downstream of Vaal Barrage) are undertaken by the application of the Water Resource Planning Model (WRPM). The WRPM was subsequently used as the Decision Support System (DSS) for this study. The WRPM system schematics are included in Appendix C. A low confidence high resolution network configuration of the Water Resource Yield Model (WRYM) was used to undertake a cursory quantitative evaluation of the water availability (and consequential implications) at small catchment scale based on land use data from the Validation and Verification study that is currently being undertaken in the three Vaal River WMAs. 4. HYDROLOGICAL DATABASE The WRPM configuration of the IVRS includes the hydrological database resulting from the Vaal River System Analysis Update (VRSAU) Study (DWAF, 1999). The VRSAU hydrology covers the period October 1920 to September 1995 (i.e. a period of 75 years). It is important to note that the hydrological analyses of the VRSAU study were not necessarily undertaken at quaternary catchment level as the focus was on the most representative modelling of relevant sub-catchments. The methodology adopted for the disaggregation of lumped hydrology is described in Section 4.4. 5. WATER BODIES A large number of reservoirs form part of the Integrated Vaal River System. These water bodies include major impoundments such as Heyshope, Zaaihoek, Grootdraai, Woodstock, Sterkfontein, Katse, Mohale, Vaal and Bloemhof dams as well as a large number of smaller dams which are mainly used for local municipal water supply, rural water supply, irrigation, livestock and game farming. Impoundments are discussed in Section 5 and information on major dams is summarised in Table E-9 of Appendix E. 6. WATER REQUIREMENT AND RETURN FLOW PROJECTIONS The WRPM database includes growing water requirements up to the year 2030. Since the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS) is analysed on an annual basis, the water requirement projections of the major bulk water suppliers (Rand Water, Midvaal Water Company and Sedibeng Water), the strategic water user Eskom, as well as large industries such as Sasol and Mittal Steel (previously known as Iscor), are also updated annually. The most recent water requirement projections of the above-mentioned users (revised as part of the 2011/2012 Annual Operating Analysis) were used for the WRPM scenario analyses undertaken for this study. Two levels of catchment development were considered: Present Day (2011) and a Future (2020) condition. The water requirements and return flows representative of these two development conditions are summarised in Table 6-6 of Section 6.7 and details thereof are provided in Appendix F. Water Resource Analysis Report May 2012 vi Classification of Significant Water Resources in the Upper Middle and Lower Vaal WMAs WR Ana lys is Report 7. INTEGRATED UNITS OF ANALYS IS AND BIOPHYSICAL NODES Considerations for the identification and selection of the Integrated Units of Analysis (IUAs) are described in the Status Quo Report (DWA, 2011b) compiled as part of this study. The identified IUAs for the three Vaal Water Management Areas are shown in Figures B-1, B-2 and B-3 of Appendix B and listed in Table 7-1. The key biophysical nodes are the Ecological Water Requirement (EWR) sites and the selection process of these sites is documented in the recent Reserve studies (DWAF, 2008e; DWAF 2009a and b).

    Phase 1 Heritage Impact Assessment for proposed new 1.5 km-long underground sewerage pipeline in Paul Roux, Thabo Mofutsanyane District Municipality, Free State Province. Report prepared by Paleo Field Services PO Box 38806, Langenhovenpark 9330 16 / 02 / 2020 Summary A heritage impact assessment was carried for a proposed new 1.5 km-long underground sewerage pipeline in Paul Roux in the Thabo Mofutsanyane District Municipality, Free State Province. The study area is situated on the farm Farm Mary Ann 712, next to the N5 national road covering a section of the Sand River floodplain which is located on the eastern outskirts of Paul Roux . The proposed footprint is underlain by well-developed alluvial and geologically recent overbank sediments of the Sand River. Investigation of exposed alluvial cuttings next to the bridge crossing shows little evidence of intact Quaternary fossil remains. Potentially fossil-bearing Tarkastad Subgroup and younger Molteno Formation strata are exposed to the southwest of the study area. These outcrops will not be impacted by the proposed development. There are no major palaeontological grounds to suspend the proposed development. The study area consists for the most part of open grassland currently used for cattle grazing. The foot survey revealed little evidence of in situ Stone Age archaeological material, capped or distributed as surface scatters on the landscape. There are also no indications of rock art, prehistoric structures or other historical structures or buildings older than 60 years within the vicinity of the study area. A large cemetery is located directly west of the proposed footprint. The modern bridge construction at the Sand River crossing is not considered to be of historical significance.

HUDSON Under the DireCtion of Dr. Mohammed Hassen Ali and Dr. Jared Poley ABSTRACT Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

    Provincial Overview

    Cultural Guiding Free State Course 1 Module # 1 – Component # 1 Provincial Overview Introduction The Free State is known as South Africa's ‘breadbasket’ or ‘granary of the country’ and more than 30,000 farms produces over 70% of the country's grain. The province also boasts, among others productive gold and diamond mines, majestic sandstone mountains and archaeological and paleontological treasures. To the local rugby supporter this is ‘Cheetah country’! The landscape is characterised by the grassy plains of South Africa’s interior plateau. This is South Africa’s geographical heart, caught up between the Vaal and Orange Rivers. It is landlocked by KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, North West, the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape. The neighbouring Lesotho fits in the hollow of the province’s bean- like shape. The current borders date from 1994 when the Bantustans were abolished and included into the provinces of South Africa. It is the only Province of the former provinces of South Africa which did not undergo border changes (excluding the incorporation of the Qwa-Qwa Bantustan). The Republic of the Orange Free State (Afrikaans: Oranje-Vrystaat; Dutch: Oranje- Vrijstaat) was an independent Boer republic in southern Africa during the second half of the 19th century. After the Second Anglo Boer War (Great South African War) it was a British colony for a short period, until 1910 when it became one of the four provinces of the Union of South Africa. In 1995, it became known as the Free State Province, one of the nine provinces of South Africa under the new dispensation.
