The optimal location of tanks in water distribution networks using failure tolerance Open
The location of tanks impacts the optimal design and reliability of water distribution networks. However, contention exists in the literature regarding the best location for tanks. The aim of this study was therefore to develop a tool to c…

Determination of the optimum number of water meter test flow rates in South Africa Open
Metering errors are one of the main contributors of apparent losses, therefore the determination of the optimum number of flow rates to reproduce the meter error curve is of critical importance. The objective of this study was to determine…

The status of water for firefighting in South Africa Open
It is mandatory in South Africa that water for firefighting is included in the demand estimates input when designing municipal water networks. To this end, guidelines for determining fire flows for different risk categories have been devel…

A review of untreated household greywater quality to inform the water saving–risk trade-off in South Africa Open
Interest in greywater reuse is increasing in South Africa, because of the potential to supplement scarce freshwater resources in the face of increasing demand and aridity. This paper aims to inform the water saving–risk trade-off associate…

Water for firefighting: A comparative study across several cities Open
Studies into water for firefighting are sparse in global literature. Over the past three decades, 6 published studies have been undertaken in South Africa to quantify the extent of municipal water employed to fight fires. These studies hav…

Per capita water consumption for benchmarked South African service levels derived by means of explicit reasoning Open
Per capita water use is commonly employed in single-parameter models to estimate water demand, especially in regions where model input parameters are limited. Research has confirmed that the serviced population and household size positivel…

Prediction of water reuse potential in South African water management areas: A linear regression and Bayesian network approach Open
Increasing scarcity of freshwater resources and growing environmental awareness have given rise to the use of treated wastewater as an additional source of water supply. However, the amount of wastewater that can be reclaimed for reuse is …

Classifying household water use into indoor and outdoor use from a rudimentary data set: a case study in Johannesburg, South Africa Open
Distinguishing between indoor use and outdoor use is becoming increasingly important, especially in water-scarce regions, since outdoor use is typically targeted during water restrictions. Household water use is typically measured at a sin…

THE EFFICACY OF OXYTETRACYCLINE THERAPY AND THE DURATION OF TREATMENT IN THE COURSE OF BOVINE ANAPLASMOSIS Open
A total of 27 crossbred calves (12 intacts, 9 splenectomised and 6 uninfected control) were subcutaneously Inoculated with 2 x 107 Anaplasma marginale infected erythrocytes. Oxytetracycline (at 10mg/kg body weight) was administered intr…
View article: Water meter replacement and its impact on water consumption, utility revenue and payback periods
Water meter replacement and its impact on water consumption, utility revenue and payback periods Open
Mechanical water meter accuracy degrades over time due to wear and tear. Based on this premise, many water utilities around the world undertake meter replacement projects. In many instances, these projects neither assess the potential or a…

An evaluation of the primary South African standard and guideline for the provision of water for firefighting Open
In South Africa, as is mostly the norm globally, national legislation and guidelines specify that potable water distribution networks maintain the capacity to provide specified quantities of water for firefighting. This paper addresses the…

An improved area-based guideline for domestic water demand estimation in South Africa Open
Increased infrastructural development and potable water consumption have highlighted the importance of accurate waterdemand estimates for effective municipal water services infrastructure planning and design. In the light of evolving water…

Guidelines for rainwater harvesting system design and assessment for the city of Johannesburg, South Africa Open
As water demand increases rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are increasingly being installed for water supply but comprehensive hydrologic design guidelines for RWH do not exist in many parts of the world. The objective of this study was …

CCWi2017: F64 'ANALYSIS OF SHOWER WATER USE AND TEMPERATURE AT A SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS' Open
Earlier research has underlined that household end-uses form building blocks of the residential water demand pattern. Numerous end-use studies have been presented in the past, but none have reported on shower end-uses at Universities in So…
