The Hex River system flows through the Rustenburg area of South Africa's North West Province. This river system is characterized by its impoundments, which are significant water bodies for local subsistence fishing. The geology of the region naturally contributes elevated trace element levels in the water, a condition that has been intensified by surrounding anthropogenic activities, most notably intensive platinum mining operations in the area.
