Estimating spatial sediment delivery ratio on a large rural catchment
(2006-05-20)
Soil erosion and sediment yield from catchments are key limitations to achieving sustainable land use
and maintaining water quality in streams, lakes and other water bodies. Controlling sediment loading
requires the ...
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 ...

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 ...
