Good Morning,

Wilma, what do you mean by "underground water resources"? There are a lot of shapefiles showing different aspects of groundwater resources, like the harvest potential, groundwater occurrence with yield, groundwater quality, and the groundwater vulnerability,  most of which produced by Vegter a couple of years ago. All the shapefiles have a lot of columns and you really need to know what they mean to get something useful out of them.

These maps were the basis of several newer maps/shapefiles produced for the 1:500000 groundwater resources map series, which are difficult to get hold of in the public domain so I would contact DWS and find out what they have and in what format they can provide it (good luck!). But for most of my projects I have worked with the Vegter shapefiles, which I have seen were used by other consultants to produce totally wrong results (no idea how they got to some of the figures for yields/potential etc.), so one needs to be really careful when using them. I am, however, not sure if these shapefiles are in the public domain, I certainly haven't found any website or link where they can be downloaded.

Please let me know if I can assist with anything else.

Regards

Immo

Good morning,

Can some-one perhaps give me the webaddress(if available) to download a layer/shapefile of the underground water resources in Limpopo?

Thanking you in anticipation
