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 ...
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 ...
Performance of Twelve Mass Transfer Based Reference Evapotranspiration Models under Humid Climate
(Journal of Water Resource and Protection, 2017)
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 at different sludge depths in unlined pit latrines in Kampala slums
(Water Sa, 2017)
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 ...
Trend and magnitude of changes in climate variables and reference evapotranspiration over 116-yr period in the Platte River Basin, central Nebraska–USA
(Journal of Hydrology, 2012)
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 ...
Evaporative losses from a common reed-dominated peachleaf willow and cottonwood riparian plant community
(Water Resources Research, 2012)
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) ...
