Detection of trends in extreme streamflow due to climate variability in the lake Naivasha basin, Kenya
(2014-11-17)
Variability of streamflow has far-reaching impacts especially in developing countries. This is aggravated by climate change which has adversely affected the water resources and food security. This paper presents the ...
Analysis of drought effect on annual stream flows of river Malewa in the lake Naivasha basin, Kenya
(Radiance Research Academy, 2014-09-15)
The main parameters of drought phenomenon are the longest duration and largest severity for a desired return period. These
parameters form the basis for designing water storage structures to cope with drought effects. In ...
A review for hydraulic analysis of irrigation canals using HEC-RAS model: a case study of Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-12-19)
Hydraulic simulation models could be suitable tools for understanding the hydraulic characteristics of irrigation
systems. In this study HEC-RAS model will be tested in terms of error estimation and used to determine canal ...

(OMICS Publishing Group, 2014-01-01)
Due to increased impact of drought on water availability at different scales there is need to understand droughts especially in upper Tana River basin which is a critical and largest water system in Kenya. There is need ...
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 ...
