Assessing The Potential Of Micro-Financed Solar Water Pumping To Enable Productive Use Of Energy In Rural Areas Of Burkina Faso: A Case Study Of Korsimoro Reservoir
(2017)
Climate change (CC) has become a universal threat which requires urgent action. In Burkina Faso (BF), prolonged drought, severe variability in rainfall and risk of desertification are the key CC impacts directly posing a ...
Impacts Of Sustainable Land Management Practices On Soil Physical Properties And Agricultural Drought Adaptation In Eastern Cape, South Africa
(2017)
Intensive removal of soil resources through the use of repeated tillage, crop residue removal, intensive aftermath grazing in croplands, biomass burning, use of crop straw and animal pats for fuel, deforestation and ...
Modeling Subsurface Drainage to Control Water-Tables in Selected Agricultural Lands in South Africa
(2017)
Like many other arid parts of the world, South Africa is experiencing irrigation-induced drainage problems in the form of waterlogging and soil salinization, like other agricultural parts of the world. Poor drainage in the ...
Assessment Of Climate Change Impact On Hydrology Of Lower Awash Sub Basin, Ethiopia
(2017)
This thesis research focusing on assessing the impact of climate change on hydrology over Lower Awash Sub Basin using downscaled climate projection from GCM product outputs of HadCM3. The Statistical Down Scaling Model ...
Assessment Of Soil Erosion Potential And Its Impacts On Hydroelectricity Generation And Potable Water Treatment In Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda
(2017)
This study assessed the potential of erosion and its impact on Gihira Water Treatment Plant and Gisenyi Hydropower Plant in Sebeya catchment, Rwanda. The study determined the perception of the population on the existence ...
Experimental Design for Optimizing the Removal of Heavy Metals Ability from Wastewater by Ficus Benjamina
(2017)
Excessive and cumulative release of toxic metals from industrial effluents due to rapid industrialization has posed hazard to aquatic ecosystem integrity and environmental/ human health. The inadequacy and high cost of ...
Simulation of Land Use Changes and Impacts on the Water Balance of an Unconfined Aquifer, Case Study: Saiss Aquifer, Morocco
(2017)
Ground water is widely a used fresh water source upon which plants, animal and human life relies. However, over years this golden source has become under diverse threat of depletion and degradation more so in circumstances ...
Impact Evaluation Of Soil And Water Conservation Measures On Ecosystem Services In Thikachania Catchment, Kenya
(2017)
Across the world, ecosystem services such as water provision, sediment trapping and floods regulation are threatened by the increased degradation of catchments. This is as a result of increased pressure from population ...
Evaluation of Experience from Using Sure® Standard in Infrastructure Projects: A Case Study of the Northern Collector Tunnel (Nct) Phase I Water Project
(2017)
The concept of sustainable development has evolved since the Brundtland Report of 1987 but the principles of ensuring environmental, social and economic balance in the face of development remain the same to this day. ...
Assessment of Land Use Impacts on Surface Runoff and Its Implication for Long-Term Planning, Using SWAT Model at Baro River Basin, Southwestern Ethiopia
(2017)
Assessing the effects of land use and land cover change on hydrology is important for long-term planning of water resource management strategies. This study aims to evaluate the impacts of land use and land cover change ...
