Evaporation ponds are used for treating wastewaters in arid regions worldwide. Namakwa Sands an Anglo American plc operation, mines heavy minerals along the semi arid West Coast of South Africa. An acid effluent is generated during treatment of these heavy minerals. The effluent is neutralized and disposed of into unlined evaporation ponds. Seepage from the ponds affects the surrounding environment as well as the subsurface waters. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the seepage on the groundwater resources and potential implications for contaminant migration in the subsurface environment. 2014-07-30T17:27:35Z 2014-07-30T17:27:35Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4218 eng application/pdf Department of Geological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
