Includes bibliographical references. The main source of potable water in the Karoo is groundwater and thus any problems resulting from the abstraction of water or from diffifulties in abstractions of water are important. The iron clogging of screens, pumps and filter packs in supply wells is a worldwide problem and the consequences can be severe, leading to costly and harsh rehabilitation measures or even loss of the well. A study was undertaken in order to determine the chemistry and morphology of the precipitates found in relation to the water chemistry, in several wells in the Albertinia-Oudtshoorn-Calitzdorp area of South Africa. 2014-07-30T17:27:29Z 2014-07-30T17:27:29Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4213 eng application/pdf Department of Geological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
