Bioremediation Technology Potential for Management of Soil and Water Pollution from Anticipated Rapid Industrialization and Planned Oil and Gas Sector in Uganda: A Review
(Journal of Environmental Protection, 2017)
Oil exploitation in many African countries is associated with litigation and
conflicts to water and soil pollution. It is because of inadequate planning for
management of oil spills and industrial effluents in environmentally ...
Assessing soil erosion risk in a peri‑urban catchment of the Lake Victoria basin
(Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2022)
Soil erosion and sedimentation contribute to deteriorating water quality, adverse alterations in basin hydrology and overall
ecosystem biogeochemistry. Thus, understanding soil erosion patterns in catchments is critical ...
Comparison of sum-of-hourly and daily time step standardized ASCE Penman-Monteith reference evapotranspiration
(Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2018)
The objective of this study was to quantify differences
associated with using 24-h time step reference evapotranspiration
(ETo), as compared with the sum of hourly ETo
computations with the standardized ASCE ...
Assessing Land Use and Land Cover Changes in the Murchison Bay Catchment of Lake Victoria Basin in Uganda
(Journal of Sustainable Development, 2018)
The Murchison Bay catchment in the northern shoreline of Lake Victoria basin is a high valued ecosystem
because of the numerous human-related activities it supports in Uganda. The catchment has undergone
tremendous ...
Impact of Daily and Seasonal Variation of Raw Water Quality on Treatability: a Case of Gaba Complex
(Global Journal of Engineering Science and Research Management, 2016)
Conventional water treatment is constrained by factors such as variation in raw water quality, inefficient
coagulation, use of inappropriate sand for filtration, and poor backwashing process among others. The objective ...
Contextual investigation of factors affecting sludge accumulation rates in lined pit latrines within Kampala slum areas, Uganda
(Water SA, 2016)
Pit latrines in slums areas of Uganda fill up faster than might be expected from some estimates owing to inappropriate
use and failure to consider critical factors affecting sludge accumulation rates at the planning, ...
Energy potential of Municipal Solid Waste in Kampala, a Case Study of Kiteezi Landfill Site
(African Journal of Environmental and Waste Management, 2017)
Less than 10% of the population have access to electrical and thermal energy in Uganda and there is a
heavy dependence on wood fuel as a source of energy. In this study, the energy potential of Municipal
Solid Waste at ...
Transforming corn stover to useful transport fuel blends in resource-limited settings
(Energy Reports, 2021)
Development of local technologies is crucial to the sustainable energy agenda in resource-limited
countries and the world. Strengthening local green technologies and promoting local utilization
will reduce carbon emissions ...
