ALLEN, BSc, MAICEt The Vaal River is the most important river in South Africa and supplies water to the Pretoria/Witwatersrand/Vereeniging (PWV) area which forms the economic heartland of the country, supporting over 40% of the population and producing more than 50% of the country's wealth. The water demands from the VaalRiver already exceed thenatural resources of the catchment area, with the result that four major water transfers from adjacent catchments are currently required to augment the supply...

BLIGHT DSc(Eng)(London),DSc(Eng)(Witwatersrand)* Current codes of practice and guidelines for assessing design loadingon silos and hoppers are lacking ina number of respects. Firstly,it is not generally recognized that arching in silo fills is a phenomenon that may or may not occur. Even when it does occur, arching may break down, with the result that higher than estimated pressures are applied to the silo...

BRASSINGTON, MSc, MICE, FIGEOL, FIWEM, FGS* Over recent years, rising water-table levels have been reported in a number of major cities throughout the world. In Britain, the most well-known examples are in London, Birmingham and Liverpool, but similar conditions have been experienced in some other cities and industrial areas. A common cause for these cases of rising water-tables is changing water demands by industry, which results in a reduced abstraction from their private sources...

Lacey, Ove Arup & Partners Has it been the policy of British Waterways to give consideration to bank stabilization since the 1960 failure, or was this started when such failures became very frequent? 52. The second question concerns the length between bridges 35 and 36, where all thetrouble seems to have occurred. I am wondering if it was monitored consistently as, after the most recentfailure,namely that of 1982, it must be considered a weak spot by an outsider...
