Part 2
Seventy years of Jonkershoek Paired Catchment Experiments A Tour with
Arthur Chapman Plantations use significant amounts of water and South
Africa is an arid country. In this documentary Arthur Chapman from One
World Sustainable Investments (previously CSIR) takes us on a tour and
shares with us the background of seventy years of hydrological research
in the Jonkershoek Valley and how the paired catchment experiments work,
and how much water trees really use. The intention of the documentary is
educational, and to be used as a platform for further discussions. This
documentary is a GeaSphere / EcoDoc Africa collaboration and made
possible with funds from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation.
