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 ...
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 ...
Analyzing the Mara river basin behaviour through rainfall-runoff modeling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017-09-14)
Hydrological models are considered as necessary tools for water and environmental resource management. However, modelling poorly gauged watersheds has been a challenge to hydrologists and hydraulic engineers. Research

Basic education being the minimum education that every Kenyan must have for progressive existence
in society is a crucial factor. That is why Kenya subscribes to the international protocol that established
Education for ...
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 ...
