f Alternative Approach to Groundwater Exploration on the Nebo Granites

In 1996 an integrated groundwater research project was launched by the University of<br>Pretoria ‘s Geology Department. This project is funded by the FRD and supported by the<br>Department of Water Affairs and Forestry. The purpose of the project is to improve<br>community water supply in areas where the usual techniques didn't deliver the success<br>required, and to design a management program for such resources. To assist in the<br>above project, this research program, funded by the Water Research Commission,<br>Council Geoscience and Geodass, was initiated in 1997.<br>The main objective of the research was to determine if a regional exploration technique<br>could be applied to groundwater exploration with greater success than the previously<br>applied crisis management approach.
