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 ...
Reduction of iron and manganese in groundwater through non-mechanical aeration and filtration method: Case study of Makueni county, Eastern Kenya. J. of International Academic for multi-displinary.
(JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC RESEARCH FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY, 2017-07-06)
Makueni County borders Machakos, Kitui, Taita-Taveta and Kajiado Counties. This
area falls in south -eastern Kenya, a semi-arid region characterised by erratic rainfall and
inadequate surface water from a few rivers. ...
Groundwater Mapping of Makueni County, Eastern Kenya Using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) Technologies
(JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC RESEARCH FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY, 2015-09-08)
Occurrence of groundwater in the basement complex terrain of Makueni County,
Eastern Kenya is controlled by secondary porosity developed through weathering, fracturing
and cracking of the bed rocks. Makueni falls in ...

Comparative assessment of landslide susceptibility by logistic regression and first order second moment method: Case study of Bujumbura Peri-Urban Area, Burundi.
(Journal of Engineering Research and Application, 2018-08)
Several landslides incidents in the Bujumbura region are reported regularly by independent sources. However,
few studies on the causes in the region have been conducted and no record of susceptibility map at a regional
exists. ...
Calibration and validation of EPA SWMM for stormwater runoffmodelling in Nyabugogo catchment, Rwanda
(Journal of Sustainable Research in Engineering, 2018)
Rapid urbanization isknown to have several negative impacts towards hydrological cycle. Urban growth contributes to the increase of impervious area which increases stormwater runoff peak flows and volumes. Nyabugogo ...
Probabilistic landslide risk assessment: Case study of Bujumbura
(2018)
A spatial probabilistic landslide risk assessment and mapping
model has been applied in a data scare region. The probabilistic model is
based on a physical model based on Mohr coulomb failure criterion. A
Monte Carlo ...
