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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Reference evapotranspiration is very important parameter in the hydrological, agricultural and environmental studies and is accurately estimated by the FAO Penman-Monteith equation (FAO-PM) under different climatic ...

Occurrence and survival of pathogens in faecal sludge was investigated in unlined pit latrines at varying depths in peri-urban areas of Kampala city, Uganda. A total of 55 unlined pit latrines, 7 private and 8 rental ...

Some studies that investigate the climate change and hydrologic balance relationships utilize reference (potential) evapotranspiration (ETref) to either calculate the changes in trends and magnitude of actual ET or to ...

Our study is one of the first to integrate and apply within-canopy radiation physics parameters and scaling-up leaf-level stomatal resistace (rL) to canopy resistance (rc) approach to quantify hourly transpiration (TRP) ...
