Freshwater Challenges of South Africa and its Upper Vaal River
This book promotes better understanding and awareness of South Africa' significant water problems by describing the country's and especially the Upper Vaal River’s water resources. It is a “go-to” book for students, professionals and regular citizens when information is required regarding the country's and more specifically the Upper Vaal River’s freshwater resources. It highlights the major problems and risks which need to be addressed and give a realistic and true representation of the current water affairs.
Impact of Climate Change on Surface Water Availability in the Upper Vaal River Basin
It is an established fact that South Africa is a water stressed nation, with its existing water resources under pressure to meet a growing demand. This vulnerability may further be exacerbated by possible changes in climate which will exert an additional layer of uncertainty on existing water resources. The Upper Vaal River Basin (UVRB) supports the economic heartland of South Africa and underpins the socio economic harmony of more than 12 million people. The objective of this study was to investigate the UVRB's ability to sustain projected surface water abstractions under the impact of future climate change. In achieving this objective, the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model was used. The model incorporates different modules which can collectively describe the integrated nature of river basin management. This study has only set up the surface hydrology and water allocation modules of the model.
