Examination of deep root water uptake using anomalies of soil water stable isotopes, depth-controlled isotopic labeling and mixing models (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Knowledge on the water uptake depths of vegetation is crucial for understanding water transport processes of the soil-vegetation atmosphere continuum and relevant for many applications (e.g. the estimation of groundwater recharge...

Precipitation Origins and Key Drivers of Precipitation Isotope (18O, 2H, and 17O) Compositions Over Windhoek (2018)
Journal Article

©2018. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. Southern African climate is characterized by large precipitation variability, and model precipitation estimates can vary by 70% during summer. This may be partly attributed to underestimation an... Read More about Precipitation Origins and Key Drivers of Precipitation Isotope (18O, 2H, and 17O) Compositions Over Windhoek.

Detection of Escherichia coli and harmful enteric bacterial pathogens in domestic hand-dug wells in the Cuvelai Etosha Basin of Namibia (2018)
Journal Article

The Cuvelai Etosha Basin of Namibia is characterised by complex aquifer systems with multi-layered aquifers and various water qualities. Some parts of the basin have been covered with a pipeline system that supplies purified surface water from the Ku...

The long road to sustainability: integrated water quality and quantity assessments in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia (2018)
Book Chapter

Many arid and semi-arid regions of Southern Africa experience pressure on water resources as a result of limited
rainfall, droughts, high population growth, and poor infrastructure. To satisfy domestic, agricultural, and livestock demands,
multiple... Read More about The long road to sustainability: integrated water quality and quantity assessments in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia.
