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
done ...
Evaluation of lambda-cyhalothrin persistence on different indoor surfaces in a malaria epidemic-prone area in Kenya.
(Medwell online, 2010)
The residual life of pyrethroid insecticide lambdacyhalothrin (trade name: ICON) on indoor surfaces was evaluated under field conditions in villages in a highland area of Kipsamoite, North Nandi District of Kenya. About ...
Targeted indoor insecticide and malaria control in the western highlands Kenya.
(Oxford university press, 2011)
The residual life of pyrethroid insecticide lambdacyhalothrin (trade name: ICON) on indoor surfaces was evaluated under field conditions in villages in a highland area of Kipsamoite, North Nandi District of Kenya. About ...
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 ...
Study of the relationship between study habits and academic achievement of students: a case of Spicer higher secondary school, India
(Academic Journals, 2015-09)
The studies on the correlation of academic achievement have paved way for control and manipulation
of related variables for quality results in schools. In spite of the facts that schools impart uniform
classroom instructions ...
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 ...
