Aquifer-river interaction

Assessment of catchment scale groundwater-surface water interaction in a non-perennial river system, Heuningnes catchment, South Africa

This study assessed aquifer-river interaction using a combination of geological, hydrological, environmental stable isotope, and hydrochemical data in a non-perennial river system in the Heuningnes catchment. Results showed the depth to groundwater levels ranging from 3 to 10 m below ground level and aquifer transmissivity values of 0.17 to 1.74 m2 /day. The analytical data indicated that Na-Cl-type water dominates most groundwater and river water samples.
