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 ...
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 ...
Impact of addition of banana fibres at varying fibre length and content on mechanical and microstructural properties of concrete
(Hindawi: Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021-10-08)
'is experimental study aimed at investigating the impact of addition of banana fibres on the mechanical (compression, splitting
tension, and flexure) and microstructural (microscopic morphology and Energy Dispersive X-ray ...
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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
