Quality of packaged drinking water along its production and distribution chain: a case of central and eastern Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-10)Access to safe and affordable drinking water is one of core targets under Sustainable Development Goals: 6. Bottled water is a path way for such safe access as from 1990, with currently more than 40 registered brands amidst ... -
Quantitative analysis of contributions of human activities and climatic variability to stream flow variation in river Rwizi catchment
(Kyambogo University, 2021-08)Climate variability and human activities have an impact on hydrological processes. Human activities influence rainfall runoff generation process while climate variability does not only affect runoff volume but also low and ... -
A regression model to enhance the profitability of local construction contractors in Uganda
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2022-09)Doubtlessly, the principal goal of every construction business is to maximise its profitability. Short of adequate profitability, firms can neither attract outside capital nor survive in the long run. Amidst enormous ... -
The relationship between water pressure variations and drinking-water quality in small water supplies: A case of Mukono District, Uganda
(Environmental Challenges, 2023-09)The supply of a safe and adequate quantity of water is essential for human health and socioeconomic devel- opment. Physiochemical and microbiological quality of water supplied in piped distribution systems can be affected ... -

(Kyambogo University, 2020-12)The construction industry plays a significant role in integrating the economy of any developing country. Moreover, the growing rate of building construction projects has led to an increasing demand of competent first line ... -
Suitability of averaged outputs from multiple rainfall-runoff models for hydrological extremes: a case of River Kafu catchment in East Africa
(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 ... -
