ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN URBAN AND PERI-URBAN AREAS OF WEBUYE MUNICIPALITY, BUNGOMA COUNTY KENYA
(MMUST, 2023)Population growth in urban areas has led to increased occupancy on small pieces of land, where occupants develop groundwater sources, onsite sanitation systems, composting sites and gardens on small pieces of land. This ... -
DEVELOPING A CONCRETE MIX DESIGN FOR A SIMULATED AGGRESSIVE ACIDIC SEWER ENVIRONMENT USING RICE HUSK ASH AS AN ADMIXTURE
(2023-11)When sewage flows through closed concrete pipes, sulphuric acid (H2SO4) generated from the sewage interacts with elements of concrete leading it to corrode. This leads to reduced durability and reduction of lifetime of ... -
EFFECT OF BLENDING SAND FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES ON COMPRESIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE 'CASE STUDY OF WESTERN KENYA
(2023-11)which exhibit different formation process. Previous research has extensively examined sand properties according to standards such as BS 812 and KS-02-21. However, limited information is available concerning the blending ... -
EFFECT OF CONSTITUENT MATERIALS ON THE QUALITY OF CONCRETE: A CASE OF MATERIALS IN KAKAMEGA COUNTY, KENYA
(2023)The role of the quality of concrete in structural applications cannot be overemphasized. Quality of concrete in terms of workability, compressive strength and durability is influenced majorly by the properties and mix ... -
EFFECT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES ON GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN RURAL AND PERI-URBAN AREAS: A CASE OF KANDUYI SUB-COUNTY, BUNGOMA COUNTY, KENYA
(2023-11)Human activities and land use changes stand as the primary drivers of groundwater pollution, a consequence of growth in population, urban expansion, and heightened demand for farming and the escalated application of ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF RESERVOIR PRESSURE FOR MANAGEMENT OF WATER LOSSES IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK: CASE OF KIMILILI WATER SUPPLY SCHEME, KENYA
(MMUST, 2019-11)Potable water supply distribution networks are designed and constructed to convey treated water from the water treatment plant to end users. In developing countries, urban water supplies are mostly intermittent, typically ... -

SIMULATION OF CANAL CONVEYANCE EFFICIENCY FOR AHERO IRRIGATION SCHEME USING HEC-RAS MODEL
(2023)Irrigation plays a critical role in addressing food security as envisaged in one of the six key pillars (agriculture) of the Kenyan government's economic model. The government's strategy, among others, seeks to ensure ... -
SIMULATION OF RAINFALL SURFACE RUNOFF- WATER QUALITY EFFECTS ON SURFACE WATER BODIES IN MID-BLOCK OF YALA
(MMUST, 2019-11)In Kenya and other countries in the world, most water treatment works derive their raw water from rivers that flow in a watershed. Lack of proper management of watershed leads to high runoff generated and subsequent ... -
