Establishing a citizen-science groundwater monitoring network for Brackenfell, Western Cape
This report by GEOSS South Africa, commissioned by WWF South Africa, details the establishment of a citizen-science groundwater monitoring network in the Brackenfell residential and industrial area of the Western Cape. The project was initiated to address the unregulated increase in borehole drilling and groundwater abstraction following the 2015-2019 drought. The study combined desktop research and a field hydrocensus to identify groundwater users and deploy water level dataloggers, with the resulting data integrated into a public Groundwater Dashboard for the Table Mountain Water Source Area.

The Suitability Mapper
The Suitability Mapper is a public online application developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and Sekala to help users identify potentially suitable sites for sustainable palm oil production in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The tool uses a binary GIS methodology based on 11 environmental and crop indicators to classify land as either 'potential' or 'not suitable', specifically targeting the identification of degraded land to support low-carbon expansion.
