Assessment of Groundwater Chemistry in Shallow Aquifers, Beaufort West

Groundwater forms an important part of the water resources of South Africa, especially in Karoo region, where groundwater is an important source of fresh water. Beaufort West is a town that uses groundwater as a major source of municipal and private water supply. Groundwater samples were collected from a network of 43 boreholes, between November 2015 to December 2018 within Beaufort West town and 10km radius surrounding. The water samples were analysed for inorganics, organics, stable isotopes and radioactive isotopes.

Groundwater brings relief to Karoo town  With the addition of three boreholes, Prince Albert Local Municipality was able to resolve supply issues arising from the low yield from existing boreholes, and the poor water quality that strained the municipality’s reverse osmosis (RO) treatment system.

South Africa has a number of universities providing professional academic qualifications in groundwater and groundwater related professions.  Being a very practical discipline, hydrogeology requires a substantial amount of field and laboratory exposure for graduates. This can be very costly and is hard to achieve without placing the financial burden of field exposure on the students directly.
