This thesis investigates characteristics of the summer rainy season over the Limpopo region that are important to the agricultural sector and other user groups. The Limpopo region supports a large rural population dependent on rain-fed agriculture as well as significant biodiversity, particularly in the Kruger National/Limpopo Transfrontier Park and is vulnerable to severe flood and drought events. REcently, the region has been impacted by severe drought (2002-2004) and flooding in late summer 2000. The rainy season characterisitcs investigated are the frequency of wet and dry spells during the rainy season and the onset date of the season. 2014-07-31T08:00:56Z 2014-07-31T08:00:56Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4793 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
