Event Debrief: Localizing regional scale groundwater big data using machine learning
04 Mar 2021
CPD EVENT Following the Talk by Helen Seyler, hosted by the Western Cape Branch on 28 January 2021, Zaheed further extrapolated 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.

Event Debrief /Talking about: Groundwater Awareness
02 Mar 2021
Awareness can be defined as knowledge or perception of a situation or fact, concern about and well-informed interest in a particular situation or development and the quality or state of being aware. It is also the knowledge and understanding that something is happening or exists. Our awareness is often linked to things we have learned and experienced...

Event debrief: Talk on Natural Attenuation of AMD - Case Study (GWD Gauteng)
11 Feb 2021
SACNASP CPD EVENT Natural attenuation of acid mine drainage by various rocks in a typical Karoo coalfield: A case study of the Witbank, Ermelo, and Highveld coalfields, South Africa. In the Karoo coalfields, mining operations that release acid mine drainage (AMD) are threatening groundwater resources. An important parameter controlling the extent and severity of AMD impacts is the natural attenuation of rocks in response to introduced of AMD.

Help to develop a Groundwater Monitoring Network for the Greater Karoo
11 Feb 2021
A 2016 report by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) titled Shale Gas Development in the Central Karoo: A Scientific Assessment of the Opportunities and Risks, recommended that “a comprehensive understanding of groundwater conditions is required prior to the commencement of exploration to ensure proper interpretation of changes in groundwater over time.

Meet in person @ this upcoming workshop: Setting the standards – Borehole Drilling; Pumping Tests and Monitoring (IAH-SA)
11 Feb 2021
11-13 November 2020, Stellenbosch University. This workshop pulls together leading experts in the groundwater industry and includes a field visit to drilling within Table Mountain Group Aquifer (TMGA). It's a wonderful opportunity to learn and network. Although based in Wester Cape, international trends will also be discussed and the workshop is applicable to all involved in groundwater from the southern Africa region and beyond
