Olifants river study under way to identify potential stressors

This Engineering News article informs us about an important study underway which "will eventually identify the sources of different stressors to the river system, develop and refine appropriate water quality management responses, decision-making processes, and remediation measures for the rivers in the catchment area."

"The stressors are many. Owing to the amount of human interference in terms of mining, power generation, industry, agriculture and sewage treatment in the catchment area of the Olifants river, it has been described as one of the most polluted rivers in Southern Africa." Engineering News.
