Environmental Disturbances

Baseflow as a Proxy for Groundwater Recharge Variation Following Environmental Disturbances, Jonkershoek Valley, Western Cape, South Africa

Groundwater recharge is of strategic importance in groundwater research both globally and locally in South Africa as it ensures that the development of groundwater does not exceed the systems rate of renewal, protecting the integrity of these resources. The Table Mountain Group (TMG) system is considered to a potential source of future bulk water supply with a recharge potential ranging from 7 to 23% of Mean Annual Precipitation (MAP).
