Interpretation of constant suction direct shear test
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Constant suction direct shear test enables the understanding of the failure mechanism in rainfall-
induced landslides. It can be conducted using a conventional direct shear apparatus with some modifications.
The constant ...
A comparative analysis of existing models and a new pushover analysis model of reinforced concrete sections
(Engineering Structures, 2023-01)
Pushover analysis is mainly carried out using the concentrated plasticity model whereby when a point reaches yield, a hinge is placed at that point. The other is the yielded block spread plasticity model, whereby when a ...
Application of black soldier fly larvae in decentralized treatment of faecal sludge from pit latrines in informal settlements in Kampala city
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023-02)
Introduction: Faecal sludge management (FSM) in urban areas of low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is not properly implemented due to inaccessibility of sanitation facilities and high faecal sludge (FS) emptying costs, ...
Biochar as a novel technology for treatment of onsite domestic wastewater : A critical review
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023-02)
Globally, about 2.7 billion people depend on onsite sanitation systems (OSS) (e.g., septic tanks) for their sanitation needs. Although onsite sanitation systems help in providing primary treatment for domestic wastewater, ...
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 ...
Abating eutrophication on urban lakes: a case study of Kabaka's Lake, Uganda
(IWA Publishing Water Practice & Technology, 2023-07)
Eutrophication of water bodies is a challenge in many urban areas. This study measured and modelled quantitatively the pollutant nutrient load of an urban lake (80,596 m2), and assessed both external (constructed wetland) ...
Progress of using risk assessment to manage small drinking-water supplies in Rwanda: a preliminary study
(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 ...
Field-based methods for measuring greenhouse gases emissions from on-site sanitation systems: A systematic review of published literature
(Heliyon, 2023-04)
On-site sanitation systems (OSS) are a source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although ef-
forts have been made recently to measure and quantify emissions from septic tanks using various
field-based methods, the vast ...
