Nomquphu’s key focus is on developing a scientific understanding of the hydrological cycle (and inter-linkages) in order to promote systematic water assessment and planning. His main responsibility is to manage research that will promote better understanding of the variability of the quantity and quality of water available for use and development in South Africa. Sound water resource assessment and planning can only be achieved with reasonably accurate and consistently recorded and processed data and information.
