Assessment of water flow and sedimentation processes in irrigation schemes for decision-support tool development: a case review for the Chókwè irrigation scheme, Mozambique
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-02-28)
Water flow and sedimentation processes have been significantly erratic at the Chókwè
Irrigation Scheme (CIS) and have affected its hydraulic performance. Given its expansion there
is need to understand these processes ...
Analysis of spatial and temporal drought variability in a tropical river basin using palmer drought severity index (PDSI)
(Academic Journals, 2017-08-31)
Analysis of spatial and temporal drought variability in the upper Tana River basin using Palmer Drought
Severity Index (PDSI) was conducted. The drought is critical for formulation of mitigation measures in
the river ...
Analysis of drought and wet-events using SWSI-based severity-duration-frequency (SDF) curves for the upper Tana river basin, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-06-12)
Drought and wet-event patterns in the Upper Tana River basin have significantly been changing due to variation
of climatic and human-induced factors. This paper presents the analysis of drought and wet-events using ...
Analyzing the Mara river basin behaviour through rainfall-runoff modeling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017-09-14)
Hydrological models are considered as necessary tools for water and environmental resource management. However, modelling poorly gauged watersheds has been a challenge to hydrologists and hydraulic engineers. Research

Evaluation of lambda-cyhalothrin persistence on different indoor surfaces in a malaria epidemic-prone area in Kenya.
(Medwell online, 2010)
The residual life of pyrethroid insecticide lambdacyhalothrin (trade name: ICON) on indoor surfaces was evaluated under field conditions in villages in a highland area of Kipsamoite, North Nandi District of Kenya. About ...
Characteristics of rural poultry production in different agro-ecological zones in Kenya
(1998-11-09)
A cross-sectional was conducted to establish the characteristics of rural poultry production in Nyandarua, Nakuru and Laikipia districts of Kenya. Sites of diverse agroecological zones (AEZ) in the 3 district were selected, ...

(Oxford university press, 2011)
The residual life of pyrethroid insecticide lambdacyhalothrin (trade name: ICON) on indoor surfaces was evaluated under field conditions in villages in a highland area of Kipsamoite, North Nandi District of Kenya. About ...
Geochronological and spatial distribution of heavy metal contamination in sediment from lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-02)
Sediment cores hold large information on the history of human interactions with lakes and surrounding environments. Hence, this study investigated the geochronological and heavy metals characteristics of sediment from Lake ...
Determination of discrete particles optimum design parameters for surface irrigation system settling basin
(2018-06-05)
Irrigated agriculture is faced with challenges that include sediment loading in the river basins and dams. The
management of sediments in river basins and waterways has been an important issue for water managers throughout ...
