(Cities- International Journal of Urban Policy and Planning, 2022-03-24)This paper examines the strategies of resistance articulated by residents of informal settlements response to urban exclusion. Building upon resistance and urban social movements literature the paper is informed by the ... -
Seawater Intrusion Vulnerability Assessment of a Coastal Aquifer: North Coast Of Mombasa, Kenya as a Case Study
(International Journal of Engineering Research and Application, 2016-08)Groundwater pollution in the north coast of Mombasa is not only from surface sources but also from the intrusion of seawater via the Indian Ocean and creeks. This study assessed the vulnerability of the coastal aquifer to ... -
Simulation of Daily streamflows for hydrologically large catchments in drainage area 3, Kenya
(Journal of Japan hydrology and water resources, 1995)Tank Model found to be suitable for predicting daily discharges of tropical subbasins identified as having pronounced sluggish runoff response due to basin storage effect is presented in this paper. Runoff response in the ... -
