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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Analyses of precipitation and evapotranspiration changes across the lake Kyoga basin in East Africa
(MDPI: Water, 2020-04-16)
This study analyzed changes in CenTrends gridded precipitation (1961–2015) and Potential Evapotranspiration (PET; 1961–2008) across the Lake Kyoga Basin (LKB). PET was computed from gridded temperature of the Princeton ...
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 ...
Negative emotions about climate change are related to insomnia symptoms and mental health: cross-sectional evidence from 25 countries
(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 ...
Hydrodynamic modelling of floods and estimating socio‑economic impacts of floods in Ugandan River Malaba sub‑catchment
(Earth Systems and Environment : Springer link, 2022-01-01)
River Malaba sub-catchment tends to experience dramatic flooding events, with several socio-economic impacts to the
nearby communities, such as loss of lives and destructions of physical infrastructure. Analysis of ...
Changes in precipitation and evapotranspiration over Lokok and Lokere catchments in Uganda
(Bulletin of Atmospheric Science and Technology volume : Springer Link, 2021-03-24)
This study analysed long-term (1948–2016) changes in gridded (0.25° × 0.25°) Princeton Global Forcing (PGF) precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data over Lokok and Lokere catchments. PGF-based and station ...
Impacts of climate variability and changing land use/land cover on River Mpanga flows in Uganda, East Africa
(Environmental Challenges : Elsevier, 2021-12-09)
We analyzed River Mpanga Catchment (RMC) land use/land cover (LULC) types based on Landsat images for 2000, 2008 and 2014. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was driven by daily meteorological data from 2000 to 2011 to ...
