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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
