Localizing regional-scale groundwater big data using machine learning: A case study of the Ramotswa/NW/Gauteng Dolomites


About this event

Following the Talk by Helen Seyler, hosted by the Western Cape Branch on 28 January 2021, Zaheed will further extrapolate on the research  into the applicability of machine learning for the forward prediction of groundwater levels and flow regime using results from the dolomite aquifers in South Africa, particularly the Romotswa/North West and Gauteng Dolomites. The research supports a larger programme researching the use of big data analytics for water secure transboundary systems.
