(2017-09-06)The continuous increase of agricultural water demand in Thiba River Watershed as a result of the agricultural expansion especially in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme and other parts of the watershed has led to over abstraction ... -
Modeling of Storm Water Runoff for Improving Floods Resilience, Water Supply, Soil and Ecological Conservation. The Case of Msimbazi Catchment in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
(2018)"In rapidly urbanizing catchments, increase in stormwater runoff quantity may lead to numerous of serious problems such as flash floods, soil erosion and alteration of an ecosystem. Changes in land use usually affect ... -
Regionalisation of AWBM Hydrological model parameters for humid catchments in Kenya
(2019-09-17)Water resource management is critical to economic development in Africa, but surprisingly lack of data and its quality undermines decision making in the water sector. Hydrological simulation is a powerful tool providing ... -
Study of the Assignment Scheme of Water Resources in the Tafna Watershed
(2018)The problem of water is likely to arise sharply for Algeria and especially its western region in a more or less near future. However, the Tafna basin from which are drawn the main conventional and unconventional water ... -
User Friendly Numerical Hydraulic Model for Complex Pipe Networks. Case Study: Mbale School Zone, Uganda
