Palmiet River – Integrated catchment risk assessment

A completed Water Research Commission (WRC) research project successfully developed a generic risk assessment framework of river pollution in the Overberg West sub-catchment of the Breede-Gouritz water management area. The purpose of the framework is to integrate data and information, resulting out of the integrated risk assessment, into the decision-making structures of the Breede-Gouritz Catchment Management Agency and other relevant authorities. It is envisaged that the outcome of this research will be used to aid the regulatory function of water resource quality and reporting.
