    • Long-term climatic water availability trends and variability across the African continent 

      Onyutha, Charles (Theoretical and Applied Climatology : Springer Link, 2021-06-29)
      This study analyzed trends and variability in climatic water availability (CWA) across the African continent using monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) over the period 1901–2015. Climatic water ...

    • Modelling chlorine residuals in drinking water: a review 

      Onyutha, Charles; Kwio-Tamale, J. C. (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2022-01-24)
      World Health Organization’s guidelines on water quality limit concentrations of residual chlorine in drinking water to the range 0.2–5 mg/l. Modelling tends to be applied to understand how chlorine concentrations can be ...

(Current Psychology : Springer, 2021-02-16)
      Climate change threatens mental health via increasing exposure to the social and economic disruptions created by extreme weather and large-scale climatic events, as well as through the anxiety associated with recognising ...

    • Occupational safety training and practices in selected vocational training institutions and workplaces in Kampala, Uganda 

      Denis, Kintu; Kyakula, Michael; Kikomeko, Joseph (Taylor&Francis: International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2015-12-23)
      Several industrial accidents, some of them fatal, have been reported in Uganda. Causes could include training gaps in vocational training institutions (VTIs) and workplaces. This study investigated how occupational safety ...

    • Osmotic consolidation of expansive soil 

      Sam, Bulolo; E.C., Leong (Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication, 2019)
      The mechanical behavior of expansive soils is influenced by the concentration of salts in their pore water. Research has shown that volume change of soil can occur due to a difference in salt concentration in the pore ...

    • The potential for citizen science to improve the reach of sanitary inspections 

      Jo, Herschan; Richard, King; Theresa, Mkandawire; Kenan, Okurut; Dan, J. Lapworth; Rosalind, Malcolm; Katherine, Pond (MDPI- Resources, 2020-10)
      To achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6, universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking-water quality and sanitation for all, and 10, to reduce inequality within and among countries, additional ...

    • Progress of using risk assessment to manage small drinking-water supplies in Rwanda: a preliminary study 

      Jo, Herschan; Aime, Tsinda; Kenan, Okurut; Rosalind, Malcolm; Daniel, J. Lapworth; Katherine, Pond (MDPI- Processes, 2023-03)
      The World Health Organization promotes risk assessment and risk management through Water Safety Plans (WSPs) as the most effective way to manage drinking-water supplies. Despite proven advantages of this approach in other ...
