Does training improve sanitary inspection answer agreement between inspectors? Quantitative evidence from the Mukono district, Uganda
(MDPI, 2020-10-10)
Sanitary inspections (SIs) are checklists of questions used for achieving/maintaining the safety of drinking-water supplies by identifying observable actual and potential sources and pathways of contamination. Despite the ...
Modelling chlorine residuals in drinking water: a review
(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 ...
Water availability trends across water management zonesin Uganda
(Atmospheric Science Letters, 2021-06-21)
This study assessed trends in gridded (0.25° × 0.25°) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) precipitation, potential evapotranspiration (PET), and precipitation minus PET (PMP) across the four water management zones ...
Occupational safety training and practices in selected vocational training institutions and workplaces in Kampala, Uganda
(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 ...
Contributions of Human Activities and Climatic Variability to Changes in River Rwizi Flows in Uganda, East Africa
(Hydrology, 2021-09-26)
This study employed Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to analyze the impacts of climate variability and human activities on River Rwizi flows. Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) types from 1997 to 2019 were ...
An advanced continuum damage mechanics model for predicting the crack progress process based on the consideration of the influence of crack direction under quasi-static load
(Elsevier: International Journal of Mechanical Sciences., 2017-09)
In reality the wrong crack path can be generally obtained in the case of arbitrary crack propagation by traditional continuum damage mechanics (CDM). In this paper a novel advanced continuum damage mechanics (ACDM) method ...
An assessment of the impact of construction activities on the environment in Uganda: a case Study of Iganga Municipality
(Journal of Construction Engineering and Project Management., 2012-11-15)
Construction while being an economic activity that provides facilities and infrastructure, it is beneficial to man in some aspects and detrimental in others. There have been environmental concerns related to construction ...
Graphical-statistical method to explore variability of hydrological time series
(Hydrology Research, 2021-02)
Due to increasing concern on developing measures for predictive adaptation to climate change impacts on hydrology, several studies have tended to be conducted on trends in climatic data. Conventionally, trend analysis ...
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 ...
Long-term climatic water availability trends and variability across the African continent
(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 ...
