My Water Resource Management class went on a cool field trip to Philippi today. Philippi is the only large agricultural area that has persisted near the City of Cape Town. This week our seminar focus was on food and water, so we visited a few farmers at Philippi. It was really interesting hearing their perspectives.
A PhD student came along also who is researching the huge aquifer underneath Cape Town. There has been little research done on this, and none on how surface water and ground water interact. There is potential to tap into this water resource as a supply for Cape Town.
