Comparative assessment of the effect of climate change and human activities on streamflow regimes in central rift valley basin, Ethiopia
(Science and Education Publishing, 2019)
Climate change and anthropogenic activities are the main driving factors for changes in hydrological
processes of a given watershed. This research was conducted to assess the relative contribution of climate change
and ...
Drought forecasting under climate change scenarios using artificial neural networks for sustainable water resources management in upper Tana river basin, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-07-10)
Climate change has continued to impact negatively on water resources globally. For instance, extreme weather conditions especially the drought phenomena have become frequent in Africa. This has prompted water engineers and ...
Bathymetric survey of lake Naivasha and its satellite lake Oloiden in Kenya; using acoustic profiling system
(wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/lre, 2018-10-23)
Lakes and reservoirs play important roles as freshwater sources for domestic, indus-trial, agricultural, fisheries and recreational purposes. However, for the lakes to be sustainably exploited, there is need to understand ...

(Elsevier, 1998-02-13)
Differences in moisture loss characteristics among carrot cultivars Imperator Special 58, Gold Pak 28, Caro-pride, Paramount, Eagle, Celloking, Top Pak and Caro-choice during short-term storage at 13 °C and at either 80% ...
Effect of source, time and method of nitrogen application on growth and yield components of potato in Kenya
(Bioline International, 2000-03-24)
Predicting daily streamflow in ungauged rural catchments: the case of Masinga catchment, Kenya
(Taylor&Francis, 2007)
Access to daily streamflow data at the catchment scale, is a central component of many
aspects of water resources and water quality management. However, the majority of river reaches in
many catchments in Kenya are ...
Influence of preharvest water stress on postharvest moisture loss of carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-11-07)
To understand the relationship between preharvest water stress and postharvest moisture loss, carrot cvs Eagle and Paramount were grown in muck soil in 6 1 pots (eight carrots per pot) in a greenhouse at the University of ...
Potassium nutrition and postharvest moisture loss in carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-11-07)
Potassium nutrition and postharvest moisture loss in carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 2015-11-07)
The effect of potassium (K) nutrition on the shelf life of carrots (Daucus carota L., cv. Paramount) was studied using a hydroponic system involving rockwool slabs as an inert support. Carrots were grown for 192 d under ...
Changes in water potential, osmotic potential, and tissue electrolyte leakage during mass loss in carrots stored under different conditions
(Elsevier Science B.V, 2002-08-02)
Mass loss, water potential (ψ), osmotic potential (ψπ) and tissue permeability of carrots (Daucus carota L. cv. Eagle) stored for 30 days at 2 °C and 80% relative humidity (RH) (optimal shelf condition (OSC)), 13 °C and ...
