Application of the analytic hierarchy process to weight the criteria used to determine the Water Quality Index of groundwater in the northeastern basin of the Sidi Bouzid region, Central Tunisia
(Springer, 2020)The Sidi Bouzid and El Hjal Wadi basins together comprise one of the most important agricultural regions in Central Tunisia. Exploitation of the groundwater in this region is increasing exponentially. In this work, ... -
Characterization of Clostridium, Aeromonas and heterotrophic bacteria in selected groundwater systems
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Water sources in the North West Province (NWP) are made up of groundwater, surface water and re-useable effluent. However, major water challenges are experienced in the NWP when quality and quantity are considered. The NWP ... -
Determination of tritium (3H) and radiocarbon (14C) levels in groundwater using alpha/beta spectrometry
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)With the current state of water scarcity in Mahikeng due to the low water levels, increasing population and increased demand for fresh water supply, it is therefore crucial to ensure the sustainability and availability of ... -
Determining the effectiveness of landfill capping by reducing groundwater and surface water pollution
(North-West University, 2018)Modern day activities have the potential to place significant strain on the environment. These processes make use of natural resources which, in turn, render useful products and consumables. Other outputs which are produced ... -
Development of an impact assessment methodology and decision making tool to assist in the evaluation of site suitability for on-site sanitation systems
