Abstract
A GIS to Trace Industrial Effluent for Potable Water Resource ProtectionTrack: Water Resources
Author(s): Marna Swart
As a bulk potable water supplier, Rand Water is responsible for the protection of water quality in the rivers. The major problem is to know which industries' effluent will drain to a specific wastewater treatment works (WWTW). To be able to trace these high effluent values at specific WWTWs to potential industries, there must be a relation between them. This connection has been done in ArcView by linking them to the industries database through linkages to the effluent database and drainage database as well as to the laboratory database. Potable water resource protection can be done better now.
