Assessing Spatial, Temporal Depth Variation Of Groundwater Salinity Variation, Cape Flats Aquifer, South Africa
The use of specific-depth sampling technique to demonstrate groundwater quality variation different groundwater units of unconfined aquifers has not been widely published. To demonstrate the feasibility of such technique, the unconfined Cape Flats Aquifer (CFA) in Cape Town of South Africa was studied. The aquifer underlies an urbanised area which is vulnerable to contamination from industrial and agricultural activities, waste disposal sites, landfill sites, and formal and informal settlements.
