Includes bibliographical references. This study seeks to understand changes in rainfall and land-cover in the Kandelaars catchment, which are documented drivers that influence the magnitude, seasonality, and trends in flash-flood occurrence. The study site is situated South-West of the town of Oudtshoorn, which is part of a semi-arid basin, found between the Swartberg, Rooiberg, Outeniqua and Kammanassie mountains. This area is documented for its extensive agricultural activity in the form of ostrich farming, which has been practised there for over a century. In addition, the area is also exposed to seasonally extreme meteorological conditions, most notably in the form of cut-off lows, which have been projected to intensify with the changing climate. 2015-01-11T13:29:26Z 2015-01-11T13:29:26Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12091 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
