Science-Policy Nexus: Assessing role of groundwater resource directed measures in water resources protection practice, case of Schoonspruit-Koekemoerspruit River Catchment, South Africa
The argument in this paper is that improved understanding of science-policy integration, where physical bases of natural science is combined with practice in managing water resource challenges, becomes critical in translating scientific knowledge into effective and sustainability solutions linked to groundwater resource protection. Such hypothesis should be attested at locally relevant scale where water resources reside and where water utilization takes place.
