Hydrosalinity Fluxes in a Small Scale Catchment of the Berg River (Western Cape).

Description

<p><font face="Times New Roman">
<p align="left">The objective of this study was to determine the hydrosalinity fluxes associated with overland and subsurface (vadose zone) flow for different soils and land uses. For this purpose, the following data were collected during 2005 and 2006 in a typical small scale catchment located near the town of Riebeeck-Wes: weather data, hydrological and water quality measurements, soil water contents and chemistry, and vegetation growth. The area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate receiving winter rainfall of approximately 300 mm a <font face="Times New Roman">catchment is conservative, with Na</font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">+ </font></font><font face="Times New Roman">and Cl</font><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">- </font></font><font face="Times New Roman">being the dominant ions.</font></p>
