Dynamic Modeling And Economic Analysis And Optimisation Of Photovoltaic Ground Water Pumping System For Irrigation In Hot Arid Climate
(2017)
Remote areas do not have access to electricity and therefore mostly use diesel water pumping systems (DWPS) to irrigate their crops. It has been, however, found to be expensive and unsustainable in the long run especially ...
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 ...
Application of Satellite Rainfall Products for the Assessment of Water Availability in Ethiopian Highlands: The Case of Ribb Watershed
(2017)
One of the versatile use of satellite rainfall products is provision of continuous information which can be used for the assessment of water availability in the data sparse areas. Primarily, we compared the performance of ...
