Design norms for soil and water conservation structures in the sugar industry of South Africa

Otim, Daniel; Smithers, Jeff; Senzanje, Aidan; van Antwerpen, Rianto (University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2019-01)

This paper contains a critical review of the norms employed in the design of soil and water conservation structures in the South African sugar industry and highlights research needs in order to update them. Sugarcane in ...
Development and assessment of an updated tool for the design of soil and water conservation structures in the sugar industry of South Africa.

Otim, Daniel; Smithers, Jeffrey C; Senzanje, Aidan; van Antwerpen, Rianto; Thornton-Dibb, Sean L C (University of KwaZulu-Nata, 2021-12)

Sugarcane in South Africa is grown on wide-ranging soils, sometimes in non-ideal climates and on steep topographies where soils are vulnerable to erosion. Sugarcane fields are protected against erosion through, inter alia, ...
Investigation of system design criteria and the capital cost of varying design return periods for soil and water conservation structures highlights.

Otim, Daniel; Smithers, Jeffrey C.; Senzanje, Aidan; van Antwerpen, Rianto (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2020)

Design of conservation structures includes both hydrologic and hydraulic designs. Hydrologic design involves the estimation of design floods which are required for the sizing of the hydraulic structures. The minimum ...
Verification of runoff volume, peak discharge and sediment yield simulated using the ACRU model for bare fallow and sugarcane fields.

Otim, Daniel; Smithers, Jeff; Senzanje, Aidan; van Antwerpen, Rianto (University of KwaZulu-Natal., 2020-04)

The Agricultural Catchments Research Unit (ACRU) model is a daily time step physical-conceptual agrohydrological model with various applications, design hydrology being one of them. Model verification is a measure of model ...
