Fog : a possible solution to rural water problems ?
Countryside ; Fog ; Freshwater ; Project ; South Africa ; Water ; Water needs ; Water resources
Acute water shortages are experienced regularly in many areas. It is thus of the greatest importance to identify other sources of water in these regions. Fog is one such new source of freshwater and shows a significant potential for use
as a domestic water supply, notably the South African Fog Water Project. - (AJC)
Fresh and salt groundwater in the Dutch coastal area in relation to geomorphological evolution
Historical sequences of encroaching seawater and recharge of freshwater under different geological and geomorphological conditions during the Quaternary are responsible for a rather complicated distribution of fresh and salt groundwater
Mangrove swamp at a saline/freshwater interface near Creek Town, Southeastern Nigeria
This study represents an ecological investigation of marginal mangroves occurring at the transitional zone where oceanic influences and freshwater inputs from upland streams are equally felt. The objectives are: to identify the physiographic

An investigation of domestic water inadequacy in 1995 identified Lepelfontein as a settlement with an insufficient supply of freshwater, initiating a pilot study on fog harvesting aimed at improving freshwater supply and water security
In the process converting the estuary into a tidally-damped, fresh-water system, a study was commissioned to evaluate alternative management policies for that system. Policies were defined in terms of alternative programs for sluice operation
Tavi-mocsari tetaratas tipusu édesvizi mészkoosszletek a Keleti-Gerecsében. (Lacustrial, paludal and tetarata types of fresh-water limestone complexes in the Eastern part of the Gerecse Mountains)
Starting from the increasing importance of fresh and salt water contact problems for water supply and draining in opencast mining the present paper describes the hydrogeological situations causing jeopardy by salinization of pumped groundwater. (HL).

The aim of this study is to characterize, model and analyze the temporal variability of hydrological processes in the Rio Cobre watershed, Jamaica using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Determination of the temporal hydrological water
the measured and simulated flows. The spatiotemporal distribution of hydrological processes was determined. It is highlighted that 52% of rainfall is lost by evapotranspiration and that the groundwater contributes 42% to the water yield.
