The purpose of this study was to develop a rainfall model, continuous in space-time, which captures both the spatial and temporal structure of rainfall over a range of scales varying from lkm to 128km pixels at temporal ...

Weather radar provides a detailed spatial representation of rainfall over a large area and in a real time basis. It has proven to be a valuable tool for hydrologists, agriculturalists and organisations that require accurate ...

Floods cannot be prevented, but their devastating effects can be minimized if advance warning of the event is available. The South African Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) advocates a paradigm shift from the current ...

The research project described in this dissertation studies the modelling techniques employed for the Mlazi River in the context of flood analysis and flood forecasting in order to model flood inundation. These techniques ...

A linear reservoir cell model is presented which is proposed as a good candidate for real time flood forecasting applications. The model is designed to be computationally efficient since it should be able to run on ...

The increase in temperature of developing concrete as a result of heat liberated by cementing reactions is the primary cause for thermally induced cracks in large concrete elements. It is very essential, in engineering ...

The study was designed to generate data and information necessary for designing an appropriate sustainable solid waste management system, and examining the socio-economic benefits of urban municipal so lid waste management ...

The continued widespread contamination of the subsurface environment by microbial pathogens and chemical wastes has resulted in an increased interest in the factors that influence microbial transport through porous ...

Studies of community water have been on the increase since the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade, 1981 - 1990. However there is some key areas of community water supply that still require research ...
