Use Of Depth To Watertable,soil And Topography In Modelling Vulnerability Of Groundwater To Polllution In Naivasha- Elementaita- Nakuru Watershed Kenya Rift
(Department of Geology, 2007)Abstract Vulnerability of groundwater to pollution using DRASTIC model in the Lakes Nakuru- Elementaita and Naivasha basins has been investigated. From the results, depth to water table parameter indicates that 30% of ... -
Operator Equations in Hilbert spaces
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics, 1983)The developmant of operator theory in Hilbert spaces, owes its origin to complex analysis. Thus, given a bounded linear operator A, we would like to view it as a generalised complex number viz: A d: B .+ iC. L with ... -
