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 ...
Analysis of manual and centralised supervisory control operations to improve level of service: a case study of pyramid hill no 1 channel, Victoria, Australia
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-02)
The current challenge facing irrigation inAustralia is tofind ways to improve the operationalperformance of existing systems rather thanconstructing new ones. Unsteady flowsimulation models are often used as keytools to ...
The ROSA project–a new approach to sustainable sanitation in Eastern African cities
(2008-09)
The ROSA project promotes resources-oriented sanitation concepts as a route to sustainable and
ecologically sound sanitation. These concepts shall be applied in four cities in Eastern Africa,
namely Arba Minch (Ethiopia), ...
Drought forecasting using indices and artificial neural networks for upper Tana river basin, Kenya-a review concept
(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 ...
Mixed galerkin inite element solution of the homogenous burgers equation
(International journal of engineering & scientific research, 2015)
Nonlinear partial differential equations arise in a large number of mathematical and engineering problems. Systems of nonlinear partial
differential equations have attracted much attention in studying solid state physics, ...
Hydrological drought frequency estimation using stream flow drought index and modified gumbel method in upper Tana river basin
(Radiance Research Academy, 2015-11-15)
Objective: To estimate the hydrological drought frequency for upper Tana River basin in Kenya using absolute Stream flow
Drought Index (SDI) and modified Gumbel technique. The frequency of drought event of a defined ...
Norms, attitudes and gender perspectives in ecological sanitation
(Loughborough University, 2009)
In Kenya, the urban poor are residing in the Peri urban areas of Nakuru Municipality with inadequate
sanitation facilities. This study investigated attitudes towards urine diverting toilets to popularize their
use as ...
Characterization of greywater from urban and peri-urban areas of Nakuru municipality, Kenya
(Loughborough University, 2009)
Kenya faces serious challenges regarding water and sanitation services. Despite many years of
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 ...
