Simulation of catchment hydrologic response under changing land use: case of upper Molo river catchment, Kenya
(2014)
The urban and agricultural developments have led to changes in catchment hydrologic response. To clearly understand the effect of land use change on catchment hydrologic response, a study was carried out in the Upper Molo ...
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 ...
Norms, attitudes and gender perspectives in ecological sanitation
(Loughborough University, 2009)
In Kenya, the urban poor are residing in the Peri urban areas of Nakuru Municipality with inadequate
sanitation facilities. This study investigated attitudes towards urine diverting toilets to popularize their
use as ...
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 ...
Predictings sediment loading into Masinga reservoir and its storage capacity reduction
(2005-09-07)
It is estimated that the annual loss in storage capacity of the world’s
reservoirs due to sedimentation is around 0.5 – 1.0%. For many reservoirs,
however, annual depletion rates are much higher and can go up to 4% or ...
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 ...
Evaluating performance of vertical flow constructed wetland under various hydraulic loading rates in effluent polishing
(IWA Publishing, 2011-06-01)
The discharge of untreated wastewater or partially treated effluent and runoff from agricultural fields into water bodies is a major source of surface water pollution worldwide. To mitigate this problem, wastewater treatment ...
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 ...
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 ...
