Temporal analysis of drought in Mwingi sub-county of Kitui County in Kenya using the standardized precipitation index (SPI)
(discovery journals : Climate Change, 2018-12-01)
This study attempts to temporally characterize drought using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) over Mwingi Sub-County of Kenya. Rainfall data spanning 1961-2011 over the area of study was used to determine SPI values ...
Modelling soil erosion and sediment yield at a catchment scale: the case of Masinga catchment, Kenya
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-08-07)
Development of improved soil erosion and sediment yield prediction technology is required to provide catchment stakeholders with the tools they need to evaluate the impact of various management strategies on soil loss and ...
Soil erosion management at a large catchment scale using the RUSLE-GIS: the case of Masinga catchment, Kenya
(WIT Press, 2004-08-23)
Kenya is one country suffering heavily from land degradation due to increasing
anthropogenic pressure on its natural resources. As is common to many tropical
countries, Kenya suffers from a lack of financial resources ...
Simulation of radiative forcing due to aerosols over some Counties in Kenya
(BEST:IJHAMS, 2015-11-05)
The Coupled Ocean and Atmosphere Radiative Transfer (COART) model solved a radiative transfer equation from aerosol optical thickness data derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) spanning 2000 ...
Hybrid single particle simulation of atmospheric pollutants over Bungoma County in Kenya
(Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management (EJESM), 2018-12-20)
Microscale dispersion models with different levels of complexity may be used to assess
urban air quality and support decision making for pollution control. Mathematical models
calculate pollutant concentrations by solving ...
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 ...
Effect of levels and timing of application of gibberellic acid on growth and yield components of common beans
(African Crop Science Society, 2003-09-15)
This study was conducted to determine the effect of levels and timing of application of gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth and yield components of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Experiments were conducted at the Field ...
Improving potato tuber yields using genotypes with multiple virus resistance in Kenya
(2013)
Potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) viruses play a major role in lowering yields and quality of ware
and seed tubers in Kenya. This experiment was conducted to determine potential of potato clones
with multiple virus resistance ...
