(CSIR, 2016)In this chapter the implications of shale gas development (SGD) in the Karoo are explored in the context of 1) local development realities, 2) legal requirements and associated development pressures related to land development ...
-
(CSIR, 2016-11)It is reported that “problems related to mining waste, may be rated as second only to global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion in terms of ecological risk” (European Environmental Bureau (EEB), 2000). The potential ...
