Simbithi Eco-Estate

Conceptual Model Based Numerical Groundwater Flow Modelling of the Simbithi Eco-Estate, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa

Water stress is frequently experienced in many parts of South Africa. To ensure the longevity of the country’s water resources, particularly groundwater, accurate quantification of the resource and prediction of the responses of each water resource unit to natural and anthropogenic stresses are necessary. To this endeavour, Simbithi Eco-Estate, located at Shaka’s Rock, KwaZulu-Natal requires the implementation of a Water Management Plan that includes a hydrogeological investigation.
