Hydrological Model Supported by a Step-Wise Calibration against Sub-Flows and Validation of Extreme Flow Events
(Water, 2019)
Most hydrological models have fixed structures and their calibrations are typified by a
conventional approach in which the overall water balance closure is considered (without a step-wise
focus on sub-flows’ variation). ...
Decadal Analysis of River Flow Extremes Using Quantile-Based Approaches
(er Resources Management, 2017)
Next to the traditional analysis of trends in time series of hydro-climatological
variables, analysis of decadal oscillations in these variables is of particular importance
for the risk assessment of hydro-climatological ...
Tap versus Bottled Water in Kampala, Uganda: Analyses of Consumers’ Perception alongside Bacteriological and Physicochemical Quality
(Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2022)
In Uganda, tap water is always ensured to be potable. However, people are not sure whether tap water is generally safe for drinking
without being boiled. Conversely, bottled water consumption is on the increase in Uganda. ...
Empirical statistical characterization and regionalization of amplitude–duration–frequency curves for extreme peak flows in the Lake Victoria Basin, East Africa
(Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2015)
This paper focuses on a regionalization attempt to partly solve data limitation problems in statistical
analysis of high flows to derive discharge–duration–frequency (QDF) relationships. The analysis is based on 24
selected ...
Variability of seasonal and annual rainfall in the River Nile riparian countries and possible linkages to ocean–atmosphere interactions
(Hydrology Research, 2016)
Variability analyses for the rainfall over the Nile Basin have been confined mostly to sub-basins and
the annual mean of the hydroclimatic variable based on observed short-term data from a few
meteorological stations. ...
Geospatial Trends and Decadal Anomalies in Extreme Rainfall over Uganda, East Africa
(Onyutha, C. (2016). Geospatial trends and decadal anomalies in extreme rainfall over Uganda, East Africa. Advances in Meteorology, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/6935912, 2016)
Trends and variability in series comprising the mean of fifteen highest daily rainfall intensities in each year were analyzed
considering entire Uganda.The data were extracted from high-resolution (0.5∘ × 0.5∘) gridded ...
Uncertainties in Flow-Duration-Frequency Relationships of High and Low Flow Extremes in Lake Victoria Basin
(Water, 2013)
This paper focuses on uncertainty analysis to aid decision making in
applications of statistically modeled flow-duration-frequency (FDF) relationships of both
daily high and low flows. The analysis is based on 24 selected ...
Statistical analyses of potential evapotranspiration changes over theperiod 1930–2012 in the Nile River riparian countries
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2016)
Changes in potential evapotranspiration (PET) in the Nile Basin tend to be analyzed mostly based onshort-term remotely sensed annual data. In this study, long-term country-wide series from 1930 to 2012were used to assess ...
Observed and Future Precipitation and Evapotranspiration in Water Management Zones of Uganda: CMIP6 Projections
(Atmosphere, 2021)
We used CMIP6 GCMs to quantify climate change impacts on precipitation and potential
evapotranspiration (PET) across water management zones (WMZs) in Uganda. Future changes are
assessed based on four Shared Socioeconomic ...
Investigation of flow-rainfall co-variation for catchments selected based on the two main sources of River Nile
(Stochastic environmental research and risk assessment, 2018)
The co-variation of rainfall and flow was assessed in four selected catchments of the River Nile which has two
main sources including the White Nile (in the Equatorial region) and the Blue Nile (from the Ethiopian
highlands). ...
