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 ...
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 ...
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF ARTISANAL GOLD MINING AT ABANDONED ROSTERMAN MINE AND ITS SURROUNDING, KAKAMEGA COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Rosterman mine is an abandoned gold mine located in Kakamega County, of Western Kenya. The mine was started in 1935 and was abandoned without rehabilitation in 1952 with deep open excavations and huge amount of tailings ...
APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) FOR SITING A SANITARY LAND FILL: A CASE OF FINLAY’S TEA (K) LIMITED KERICHO, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Solid waste disposal is one of the most troublesome challenges facing many developing countries including Kenya. Not only has the volume of solid waste increased rapidly in the past few years, but the available sites meeting ...
MODELING OPTIMAL YIELD OF MAIZE UNDER DEFICIT IRRIGATION AND NUTRIENTS LEVELS IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY, KENYA.
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Agriculture uses the largest volume of water which is a scarce natural resource and
equally demanded for both industrial and domestic requirements. Increasing demand in
agricultural production for food and industrial ...
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, ...
SOIL EROSION PROCESSES AND CONTROL ON RURAL ROADS IN MT. ELGON SUB-COUNTY, TRANS NZOIA AND WEST POKOT COUNTIES, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Roads are essential component to the counties’ economy; they are key agents of economies to thrive, good and well maintained roads imply great and successful economies. Low volume rural roads are facing great challenge and ...
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 ...
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 ...
