A review for hydraulic analysis of irrigation canals using HEC-RAS model: a case study of Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-12-19)
Hydraulic simulation models could be suitable tools for understanding the hydraulic characteristics of irrigation
systems. In this study HEC-RAS model will be tested in terms of error estimation and used to determine canal ...
Drought forecasting using indices and artificial neural networks for upper Tana river basin, Kenya-a review concept
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2014-01-01)
Due to increased impact of drought on water availability at different scales there is need to understand droughts especially in upper Tana River basin which is a critical and largest water system in Kenya. There is need ...
Hydrological drought frequency estimation using stream flow drought index and modified gumbel method in upper Tana river basin
(Radiance Research Academy, 2015-11-15)
Objective: To estimate the hydrological drought frequency for upper Tana River basin in Kenya using absolute Stream flow
Drought Index (SDI) and modified Gumbel technique. The frequency of drought event of a defined ...
Characterization of greywater from urban and peri-urban areas of Nakuru municipality, Kenya
(Loughborough University, 2009)
Kenya faces serious challenges regarding water and sanitation services. Despite many years of
government investment, existing facilities continue to deteriorate and have also failed to meet the demand
of increasing ...
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 ...
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 ...
