State of nitrate pollution in groundwater in South Africa

The study of nitrate concentrations in South and southern Africa is not a new subject (Tredoux and Talma, 2006, Tredoux et al., 2004), with the publication of a nitrate distribution map in 2001. However, these studies were constrained by the amount of data obtained, GIS software and computer process...

Summary:The study of nitrate concentrations in South and southern Africa is not a new subject (Tredoux and Talma, 2006, Tredoux et al., 2004), with the publication of a nitrate distribution map in 2001. However, these studies were constrained by the amount of data obtained, GIS software and computer processing power, making it difficult to determine the levels of and extent to which nitrate occurs (Tredoux et al., 2001).
