      Mwatha, S; Gichuki, F. N.; Gichuki, F. N; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K; Thomas, D. B. (University of Nairobi,college of agriculture and veterinary sciences,, 1993)
      The efficiency of the furrow irrigation system in the Bura Irrigation Settlement Project, Kenya, was studied to see how effectively it can be operated and to provide guidelines for future irrigation developments. Field ...

    • Laboratory calibration of a tipping-bucket device and sediment sampling tube for soil erosion plots. 

      Gichuki, F. N; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K; Thomas, D. B; Zöbisch, M. A; Klingspor, P; Oduor, A. R; Schlott, R. (University of Nairobi,Department of soil science,, 1993)
      The calibration of runoff and sediment measuring device for erosion plot studies is described. Volume and flow rate measurements were made by a tipping bucket device. Runoff and sediment samples were collected with a ...

    • A Markov model for critical dry and wet days in Kibwezi, Kenya. 

      Sharma, T. C.; Gichuki, F. N; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K; Thomas, D. B. (University of Nairobi,Department of soil science,, 2000)
      The role of probability theory in providing information on the critical dry and wet periods using daily rainfall data was studied. The methodology was illustrated using the daily rainfall data from Kibwezi rainfall station, ...

    • Planning irrigation cropping systems 

      Sifuma, J; Gichuki, F. N.; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K; Thomas, D. B (University of Nairobi,college of agriculture and veterinary sciences,, 1993)
      Farmers of the Sagana irrigation project, Kenya, have identified fluctuating and low prices for their agricultural produce as their main constraint. This paper reports results from a study carried out to identify an ...

    • Rainfall-runoff relationships on the Njemps flats of Baringo district: implications for water harvesting. 

      Gichuki, F. N; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K; Thomas, D. B. (University of Nairobi,Department of soil science,, 2000)
      Artificially derived runoff parameters were used to estimate the runoff potential on the Njemps Flats, Kenya, using the linear regression model of rainfall-runoff analysis. Resultant rainfall-runoff relationships revealed ...

    • Terrace riser stabilization and fodder production. 

      Thomas, D. B; Gichuki, F. N; Mungai, D. N; Gachene, C. K. K (University of Nairobi,college of agriculture and veterinary sciences,, 1993)
      This paper describes a completely randomized block experiment that was laid out on four terraces at the Kabete campus, Kenya, to test the suitability of seven plant spp. (Tripsacum laxum, Brachiaria decumbens, Panicum ...
