| Description | The present investigation is mostly concerned with the contribution that the finite-element method can make towards the simulation of ground water flow. After a brief introduction to the finite element method, it is applied to the Grootfontein dolomitic aquifer near Mafikeng/Mmabatho. This aquifer yields water for irrigation purposes as well as water for the township. By utilizing the available information a good flow model was constructed for this aquifer. The model is considered calibrated and verificated. Ondersoek is ingestel na die gebruik van die eindige-element-metode vir die toepassing in grondwatervloei. No ’n kort bespreking van die basiese beginsels van die metode, word dit toegepas op die Grootfonteinakwifeer waaruit grondwater op groot skaal onttrek word. Die prosedure van yking en toetsing word toegelig. | |
