Sanitation challenges in learning institutions: the case of Nakuru municipality, Kenya
(WEDC, Loughborough University, 2009-05-27)
Sanitation challenges in learning institutions: the case of Nakuru municipality, Kenya. IN: Shaw, R.J. (ed). Water, sanitation and hygiene - Sustainable development and multisectoral approaches: Proceedings of the 34th ...
Geochronological and spatial distribution of heavy metal contamination in sediment from lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-02)
Sediment cores hold large information on the history of human interactions with lakes and surrounding environments. Hence, this study investigated the geochronological and heavy metals characteristics of sediment from Lake ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Stochastic drought forecasting exploration for water resources management in the upper Tana river basin, Kenya
(IGI Global, 2016)
This chapter presents the trend of drought as a stochastic natural disaster influenced by the climate variability for the upper Tana River basin in Kenya. Drought frequency, duration and intensity in the upper
Tana River ...
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 ...
