Location:<\/strong> Eronga Region, southwest Namibia\n
\n\nDuring 2017 GCS Water & Environmental Engineering Namibia (Pty) Ltd was appointed to update the numerical groundwater flow model for the lower Kuiseb River Aquifers which was developed in 2014. The project entailed reassessment of the aquifer system to determine the long-term sustainable and optimal utilization of the aquifer, updating of the conceptual model, review and update the boundary conditions and aquifer properties (where applicable), calibration of the groundwater flow model, simulations of various abstraction scenarios and calculation of sustainable yield. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMine Closure Plan for Zinc Mine<\/h4>\n
Location:<\/strong> Rundu, Kavango East Namibia
During 2010 GCS Water & Environmental Engineering Namibia (Pty) Ltd was \ncommissioned to compile a \u201cFinal Draft Mine Closure Plan\u201d for a Zinc mine in southern Namibia. Investigation involved an assessment of the Env and social aspects for the potential closure of the mine. \nAn assessment was completed at the mine on the waste rock dumps, open pit and surface water management system. The social investigation involved and assessment of the Rosh Pinah town with RoshSkor and local and regional authorities to optimise the mine closure strategy.\nThe investigation of the waste rock dumps and tailings facility involved the re-assessment of the placement of the waste with a defined sustainable closure. Strategy.\nThe original Mine Closure Plan for the mining pit was to backfill the pit with waste rock and inert material. During the closure Study, it was identified that backfilling of the open pit would be a very costly and it was proposed that the mine pit should be allowed to flood, and this be incorporated into the Zinc mine closure plan as a final pitlake.GCS proposes to setup a groundwater flow model in order to investigate the groundwater flow and the pit water balance, coupled with a contaminant transport model (geochemical model) which would investigate the chemical evolution of the water, stratification and the potential for mirromixes (potential inversions of pit water with seasonal temperature fluctuations).\n

Location:<\/strong> Rundu, Kavango East Namibia\n
\nDuring 2023 GCS Water & Environmental Engineering Namibia (Pty) Ltd was appointed to undertake an independent Environmental Assessment (EA) in order to obtain an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the proposed township establishment in Rundu, Namibia to provide additional residential erven to help cater to the increasing demand for residential properties in the town of Rundu. The scope of work included:\n<\/p>\nEnvironmental Impact Assessment for the Proposed Establishment of the Flexible Land Tenure Schemes in Ombili and Bonya Informal Settlements<\/h4>\n
Location:<\/b> Helao Nafidi, Ohangwena Region, Namibia
\n\nDuring 2023 GCS Water & Environmental Engineering Namibia (Pty) Ltd was appointed to undertake an independent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Flexible Land Tenure Schemes in Ombili and Bonya Informal Settlement.\nFlexible Land Tenure Schemes involves the development of land resettlement schemes, creation of erven (with varying land uses), creation of streets and installation of bulk services.\nGCS conducted the EIA for these Flexible Land Tenure Schemes, inclusive of public participation to be undertaken as part of the EIA process.\n\n

\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEIA for the Construction of Telecommunication Towers in the Erongo, Kunene, Otjozondjupa, Omusati and Kavango West Regions, Namibia<\/h4>\n
Location:<\/strong>Rundu, Kavango East Region
During 2020 GCS Water & Environmental Engineering Namibia (Pty) Ltd was appointed to undertake an independent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed telecommunication tower construction which was commissioned by MTC in 2017. The project aims to strengthen the coverage for mobile services, inclusive of voice and data services within the subject areas. The scope of work covered for the project included:\n\u2022\tEnvironmental Impact Assessment <\/p>\n
