Project Name: Crocodile River (East) Real-Time Operational Model
Client: Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Sub-Directorate: Systems Operation
Date: 2008 to 2009 Project Value: R3.00 million Associated Companies: Clear Pure Water (Lead consultant), Dormehl Technologies Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to develop a real-time operational model for the Crocodile catchment in Mpumalanga. Our responsibility on this project was to develop a medium to long-term stochastic model which can run off the Mike Floodwatch framework and advise on when restrictions need to be imposed on users, and the degree of these restrictions. Project Deliverables: The deliverable of this project is a medium and long-term water resources model (using a monthly time step) and newly developed stochastic model to interface with Mike 11 through the Mike Floodwatch framework.

Project Name: Support to Streamflow Reduction
Client: Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Sub-Directorate: Streamflow Reduction
Date: 2005 to 2008 Project Value: R1,5 million Associated Companies: Dirk Versfeld cc, University of KwaZulu-Natal Project Overview: This appointment was to provide general technical assistance to DWAF's sub-Directorate: Streamflow Reduction. This included the development of new techniques (in collaboration with the University of KwaZulu-Natal) to estimate the reduction in streamflow due to exotic forests, compilation of training material for the implementation of these methods, presentation of several training courses and the assessment of numerous forestry licences, including trades into and out of forestry. Forestry potential maps were also prepared for the whole of KwaZulu-Natal as well as the Mzimvubu to Keiskamma WMA. Project Deliverables: Improved techniques for modeling SFRA, forestry potential maps, training material, licences assessed.
