    • Contribution of rainfall on rooftop rainwater harvesting and saving on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, East Africa 

      Barasa, Bernard; Asaba, Joyfred (Hindawi: The Scientific World Journal, 2020-07-18)
      Despite the achievements reported from using rainwater harvesting systems, the contribution and drawbacks that affect their usage in mountainous landscapes have received little attention. The uptake and usage of domestic ...

      East African landscapes today are the result of the cumulative effects of climate and land-use change over millennial timescales. In this review, we compile archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data from East Africa to ...

    • Farmers perception of the small East Africa zebu x Tyrolean grey cattle crosses performance in Uganda 

      Acila, Goretti (Kyambogo University, 2021-05)
      The study aimed to determine the performance of the Small East African Zebu (SEAZ) and the Tyrolean Grey cattle crosses (TGX) in the selected cattle corridor districts (Kole, Nakapiripirit, and Kayunga of Uganda. SEAZ ...

    • Investigating false start of the main growing season: a case of Uganda in East Africa 

      Ocen, Emmanuel; de Bie, C.A.J.M.; Onyutha, Charles (Heliyon, 2021-11-19)
      False start of the growing season (Fsos) is a component of the onset variability related to agronomic drought that adversely impact on agricultural production and productivity. In the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where agriculture ...

    • Phytoplankton patterns along a series of small man-made reservoirs in Kenya 

      Straubinger-Gansberger, Nadja; Kaggwa, Mary N.; Schagerl, Michael (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment., 2014-04-10)
      We studied nine small man-made reservoirs located in different climate regions of Kenya to get an insight into the relationship between phytoplankton community structure and its environment. The investigated ponds form ...

    • Suitability of averaged outputs from multiple rainfall-runoff models for hydrological extremes: a case of River Kafu catchment in East Africa 

      Onyutha, C.; Amollo, C. J.; Nyende, J.; Nakagiri, A. (Springer link:International Journal of Energy and Water Resources., 2020-05-26)
      In this study, seven rainfall-runoff models were applied to model daily River Kafu flows from 1952 to 1981. Among others, models from the rainfall-runoff library of the eWater toolkit were applied. Optimal parameters of ...
