Establishing a citizen-science groundwater monitoring network for Constantia & Bergvliet, Western Cape
This report details the establishment of a citizen-science groundwater monitoring network in the Constantia and Bergvliet residential areas of the Western Cape, South Africa. Commissioned by WWF South Africa and executed by GEOSS South Africa, the project responded to a surge in borehole drilling following the 2015–2019 drought. The study combined desktop research and a hydrocensus of 309 properties to identify groundwater use and establish a network of five monitoring boreholes equipped with Solinst Leveloggers. Data from these loggers is integrated into a public Groundwater Dashboard to improve transparency and sustainable management of the Table Mountain Strategic Water Source Area.
