(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
Uganda’s progress towards achieving sustainable growth is curtailed by poor and
limited infrastructure, over 60% of town population live in shantytowns with deprived quality
accommodation and sanitation, 44% of households ...
Performance evaluation of fecal sludge treatment plants in Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-08)
With the inevitably increasing urbanization of various cities, there has come an increasing amount
of fecal sludge collected in all cities globally. Such an incidence has consequentially led to the
increasing need to not ...
A comparative analysis of foundations using prescriptive design and static loading test methods:(case study: the Karuma interconnection power project in Uganda)
(Kyambogo University., 2019-11)
Foundations for overhead transmission line lattice towers are subjected to overturning
loads imposed by winds and impact. Hence, they are designed to resist uplift, compression,
lateral and interconnection cable line-tension ...

Application of value analysis concept on construction cost of low volume roads in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11)
The success of implementation of highway infrastructure projects is usually measured against three parameters; quality, time and cost. However, some of these projects do not achieve expected project goals in terms of ...
Suitability of averaged outputs from multiple rainfall-runoff models for hydrological extremes: a case of River Kafu catchment in East Africa
(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 ...
Assessing biogas recovery potential from organic Solid waste generated from academic institutions (case study: Islamic university in Uganda - Mbale city)
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-09)
Resource recovery is contingent to the circular economy and the core intention is to
replace the norm of largely linear economy of take make and dispose with one where
resource circulation and disposal is fostered at ...
A hydrological model skill score and revised R-squared
(Hydrology Research, 2022-01-01)
Despite the advances in methods of statistical and mathematical modeling, there is considerable lack of focus on improving how to judge models’quality. Coefficient of determination (R2) is arguably the most widely applied ...
Combined use of graphical and statistical approaches for analyzing historical precipitation changes in the black sea region of Turkey
(MDPI: Water, 2020-03-05)
Many statistical methods have been developed and used over time to analyze historical changes in hydrological time series, given the socioeconomic consequences of the changes in the water cycle components. The classical ...
