                                PREFACE  
                                      
         This report is one of the outputs of the Wetland Health and Importance (WHI) research 
         programme which was funded by the Water Research Commission.  The WHI represents 
         Phase II of the National Wetlands Research Programme and was formerly known as 
         “Wetland Health and Integrity”.  Phase I, under the leadership of Professor Ellery, resulted in 
         the “WET-Management” series of publications.  Phase II, the WHI programme, was broadly 
         aimed at assessing wetland environmental condition and socio-economic importance.   
          
         The full list of reports from this research programme is given below.  All the reports, except 
         one, are published as WRC reports with H. Malan as series editor.  The findings of the study 
         on the effect of wetland environmental condition, rehabilitation and creation on disease 
         vectors were published as a review article in the journal Water SA (see under 
         “miscellaneous”).  
          
          An Excel database was created to house the biological sampling data from the Western 
         Cape and is recorded on a CD provided at the back of Day and Malan (2010). The data were 
         collected from mainly pans and seep wetlands over the period of 2007 to the end of 2008.  
         Descriptions of each of the wetland sites are provided, as well as water quality data, plant 
         and invertebrate species lists where collected.
