dc.description.abstract |
Research conducted over a period of seven years included: a preliminary survey of the quality of the water of available sources in the Swakop River; the levelling of the river bed from Okahandja to the coast, determining of the water level and systematic sampling of the sand-water; detailed investigations in problem areas by means of boreholes and sampling at varying depths; the placing of multi-point sampling points in boreholes at strategic places; and the systematic sampling of floodwaters over a number of years |

A close resemblance between the quality of the flood-waters and of the sand- water was found in those parts of the river where the sand-water was not noticeably affected by mineralization processes |
en_US |
dc.description.abstract |
The quality of the flood-water changes gradually from a bicarbonate water in the upper reaches to a chloride-bicarbonate water at the coast. The sand- water, however, changes from a bicarbonate to a chloride-sulphate water at the coast |

dc.description.abstract |
The composition of the dissolved salts in the sand-water as well as in the flood-water depends mainly on the processes of evaporation, precipitation and selective redissolving, of precipitated salts |
en_US |
dc.description.abstract |
These processes make it extremely difficult to determine the influence of geological formations on the quality of the water. The available data indicated that mineralization of sand-water in the Swakop River was mainly due to the concentration of dissolved salts as a result of evaporation |
