  • Linkages between solar activity, climate predictability and water resource development 
    Alexander, Will J.R.; Bailey, F.; Bredenkamp, D.B.; Van der Merwe, Alwyn; Willemse, Nico (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2007-06)
    This study is based on the numerical analysis of the properties of routinely observed hydrometeorological data which in South Africa alone is collected at a rate of more than half a million station days per year, with some ...
  • Mathematics vs pattern recognition in water resource studies 
    Alexander, Will J.R. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2009-06)
    Pattern recognition is hard-wired into our brains. Unfortunately, it seems that most civil engineers have forgotten how to apply it to solve complex problems. This article gives some examples of where pattern recognition ...
  • Misconceptions in water resource studies 
    Alexander, Will J.R. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2014-06)
    During the following years civil engineers, hydrologists and mathematicians were unable to determine the cause of these anomalies. Now, here in South Africa, as well as in many other countries with dry climates, the demand ...
