Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma SWSA Literature Repository

The literature repository for the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Strategic Water Source Areas (SWSAs) provides interested stakeholders with access to available information regarding 1) the state, condition, and function of ecological infrastructure; and 2) information on governance (i.e. conservation planning and decision-making) for the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma SWSAs. The information sources provided largely fall within the period 2000 to 2022. The repository has been organised with the aid of four searchable filters. 1) Literature identifiers – any term relating to an author, year, title or publisher; 2) SWSA Catchment; 3) Quaternary catchment – the sub-catchments found in the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma SWSAs and 4) Themes – eleven predetermined themes were used to organise the information. The sources can be categorised under more than one of these themes. E.g. Information can relate to the theme of Fire, and the theme of Invasive alien plants.
