Miscellaneous
The geohydrology of the coastal area between the Gouritz and Kafferkuils rivers, Riversdale district
Description
A licencing requirement for the proposed Gouriqua Nuclear Research Facility is a comprehensive knowledge of the regional geohydrology of the site and its environs. A geohydrological study of the area revealed the presence of a confined aquifer in the folded basement of Cape Supergroup sandstones and shales, and an unconfined aquifer in the unconformably overlying Bredasdorp formation. The chemistry of the ground water shows possible mixing of water from the two aquifers at Gouriqua. Natural isotopic studies show no recent addition to the ground water system
