Modelling Early Childhood Development Centers in Rwanda
(2012)This paper discusses the crucial role played by architecture in informing decisions and outcomes of a small architectural project focused on breaking the cycle of poverty. It is based on experiences, literature research, ... -
Modelling Hydraulic Conductivity
(2001)A simple analytic model is proposed which predicts the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves by using the moisture content-capillary head curve and the measured value of the hydraulic conductivity at saturation. It is ... -
Modelling of irrigation Water Movement in a Distributed Runoff Model,
(2002)The paper forms the first part of an introduction to the SHE, a physically-based, distributed, catchment modelling system produced jointly by the Danish Hydraulic Institute, the British Institute of Hydrology and SOGREAH ... -
Modelling snowmelt in Thiba catchment in central Kenya
(2001)We established, calibrated, and validated a distributed hydrological model for the Thiba catchment in central Kenya. In the 1990s the catchment experienced a sharp increase in the use of water for agriculture. This study ... -
Modelling the potential of rainwater harvesting in western Kenya using remote sensing and GIS techniques
(University of Nairobi, 2014-11)Water scarcity is among the many problems faced today by many countries in the world, especially African countries. The Kakamega area in western Kenya is known for plenty of rainfall (around 2000 mm annually), however, ... -
