Water quality and ecology of Lake Kanyaboli, Kenya: Current status and historical changes
(Lakes and reservoirs, 2022)Small waterbodies are the most threatened freshwater habitats because of the large ratio between their size and the catchment they drain. The present study assessed the current and ... -
Mapping Landslide Susceptibility Along the Nandi Escarpment in Malava Sub-CountyKakamega County, Kenya
(Africa Environmental Review, 2022)Landslidesmay occur in hilly terrain due to a combination of factors like deforestation, heavy precipitation, slope steepness and gravity, land use and cover. Whenever they occur, they may result in disasters such as loss ... -
On-Site Runoff Management, Challenges and Prospects in Amalemba, an Urban Informal Settlement in Kakamega Municipality, Kakamega County, Kenya
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)This study investigated the challenges and prospects of on-site runoff management in Amalemba informal urban settlement in Kakamega Municipality, Kenya. The study followed a qualitative research design. Visual observations, ... -
Variation of Fluoride Levels in Surface Geology: A Study of River Njoro Catchment, Kenya
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2020)Fluoride levels in water that is higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended levels of 1.5mg/l have raised concerns to the health of human. Subsequently fluoride contamination in water is a pertinent ... -
Stratigraphy and Fluoride Levels Variation in Borehole Water: A Case of River Njoro Catchment
(Open Access Library Journal, 2020)Boreholes are main sources of water for human use in the Rift Valley. How ever these boreholes have fluoride levels higher than the World Health Or ganization (WHO) recommended levels of 1.5 mg/l and consequently have ... -
Environ. Res. Commun.1(2019)125003https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/ab50f6PAPERComputational and experimental study of a hydro-dynamicallandslide model based on laboratoryflume tests
(Environmental Research Communications, 2019)Hydrological factors such as volumetric water content(VWC)and pore-water content(PWC)havebeen cited widely as significant factors that trigger slope failures especially shallow landslides anddebrisflows. Over the years, ... -
Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones
(Science Advances AAAS, 2019)River ecosystems receive and process vast quantities of terrestrial organic carbon, the fate of which depends strongly on microbial activity. Variation in and controls of processing rates, however, are poorly characterized ... -
Numerical modeling of translational dynamics forshallow landslides based on flume tests – specialcase of spherical-cap-shaped slope sections
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Slope failures can endanger human life and cause infrastructural destruction and socioeco-nomic loss. Geoscientists have strived to develop constitutive models and real-time slopemonitoring models and systems to abate these ...
