Can diatom-based pollution indices be used for biomonitoring in South Africa? A case study of the Crocodile West and Marico water management area
TL;DR: In this paper, the inclusion of diatoms into the current suite of biomonitoring tools in use in South Africa, as well as the use of European and other diatom indices, in particular the Crocodile and West Marico water management area, is discussed.
Recommendations for the collection, preparation and enumeration of diatoms from riverine habitats for water quality monitoring in South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide guidance on methods through all stages of diatom collection, preparation and examination for the purposes of water quality assessment for South Africa's freshwaters and their value has been recognised for cross-border water quality monitoring.

The application and testing of diatom-based indices in the Vaal and Wilge Rivers, South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used diatom cells from 10 sites in the Vaal and Wilge Rivers for a period of one year and found that the tested diatom indices in general have the best correlation with average chemical data for a one-month period.
