The effect of climate change on loss of lake volume: case of sedimentation in central rift valley basin, Ethiopia
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018-12-11)
Evaluating the impact of climate change on sediment yield has become one of the major
topics in climate research. The purpose of this study was to investigate sediment yield contribution to
lake volume change under ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Detection of spatial, temporal and trend of meteorological drought using standardized precipitation index (spi) and effective drought index (edi) in the upper Tana river basin.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-07-17)
Drought events across the world are increasingly becoming a critical problem owing to its negative effects on water resources. There is need to understand on-site drought characteristics for the purpose of planning mitigation ...
Simulation of the hydraulics and treatment performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland treating greywater
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-05-10)
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have evolved as some of reliable wastewater treatment technologies. Various types
of CWs differ in their main design characteristics and in processes responsible for pollutant removal. Classification ...
Evidence of hydrological extremes primarily driven by human land use changes in tropical African basins
(2018-04)
The sensitivity of basins to human alterations on land and their associated hydrological impacts is a subject of on-going research and is particularly poorly understood especially in tropical African basins. Oftentimes ...
Access to water in Kenya’s coast region
(2018)
Water is considered a basic commodity and essential for life - living on planet earth is dependent on it. However, access to water has been and will continue
to be a dilemma for a majority of the residents at the coast ...
