Abstract. The management of sediment and other non-point source (NPS) pollution has proven difficult, and requires a sound understanding of particle movement through the drainage system. The primary objective of this investigation was to obtain an understanding of NPS sediment source(s), transport, and storage within the Mkabela basin, a representative agricultural catchment within the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of southeastern South Africa, by combining geomorphic, hydrologic and geochemical fingerprinting analyses.

Abstract:
Hydrological modelling is an appropriate approach to investigate the effect of interactions of climate, land-use and soil on the water-use of natural or managed ecosystems, in particular where spatial heterogeneity exists. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has evolved into one of the most widely used catchment-scale hydrological models, which has been extensively used to better understand hydrological processes. In this paper, the SWAT model was adopted to simulate a wattle plantation in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. User-defined vegetation growth, soil and management input parame

Full text
Abstract:
Subsurface erosion forms has been regarded as a unique exception to the more common surficial erosion forms such as rills and gullies, and have therefore been viewed as being of little consequence consequence for the total annual soil loss within any given region. A total of 148 subsurface erosion system occurring at 66 sites in Southern KwaZulu-Natal and Transkei were analysed morphologically to determine the significance of subsurface erosion within this region, to assess the extent to which the observed phenomena may be explained by current theories. Based on morphological criteria relate

Full text
Abstract:
The Mfolozi, the second largest catchment in KwaZulu Natal, is already severely degraded over substantial areas. Its mean annual sediment load is extremely high and deposits on its floodplain have caused very serious financial losses. Previous studies in the catchment have attributed its soil loss to poor land use practices by peasant farmers. There is a concern that this production will be substantially increased by land use changes incumbent on the land reform programme. In order to ensure that this programme does not lead to increased degradation and exacerbate associated environmental and

Abstract:
Accelerated soil erosion is drawing a growing attention with the recognition that the rate of soil loss is too great to be met by soil formation rate. Weenen Game Reserve (WGR) is an area with an unfortunate history of prolonged soil erosion due to excessive overgrazing that led to severe land degradation with prominent visible scars. This problem triggered the general objective of estimating and mapping potential soil erosion in WGR. Assessing soil loss in the area objectively has important implications for the overall management plans as it is reserved for ecological recovery. The most impor

Abstract:
Identifying areas of the hillslope that are most sensitive to soil erosion and contribute significantly to sediment yield is a primary concern in environmental protection and conservation. Therefore the ability to predict the magnitude and variability of soil erosion and sediment yield is important to catchment managers in order to select the appropriate conservation practices that keep soil erosion and sediment yield within the tolerable limits. A number of models have been developed for simulating soil erosion and sediment yield from a catchment. However, none of them are universally applica

Abstract:
Soil material exported from river catchments by soil erosion is a key issue in environmental sustainability. Although soil erosion processes have been thoroughly investigated, their dynamics, specifically the continuity of erosion processes and sediment source locality, are less studied. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the changes in the fluxes and characteristics of sediments during their downslope and downstream transport. The study was conducted in a 1000 ha catchment of the Drakensberg foothills, South Africa. Sediment fluxes were monitored at nested scales during the 2009-20
