Composition and design of vegetative filter strips instrumental in improving water quality by mass reduction of suspended sediment, nutrients and Escherichia coli in overland flows in eastern escarpment of Mau Forest, Njoro River Watershed, Kenya.
Olilo, C. O.; Onyando, J. O.; Moturi, W. N.; Muia, A. W.; Roegner, Amber F.; Ogari, Z.; Ombui, P. N.; Shivoga, W. A. (Energy, Ecology and Environment, 2013-06-13)This study assessed the effect of vegetative filter strip (VFS) in removal of suspended sediment (SS), total nitrogen, total phosphorus and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in overland flow to improve receiving water quality ... -
Effect of vegetated filter strips on infiltration and survival rates of Escherichia coli in soil matrix at Mau, Njoro River Watershed, Kenya.
Olilo, C. O.; Muia, A. W.; Onyando, J. O.; Moturi, W. N.; Ombui, P.; Shivoga, W. A. (Energy, Ecology and Environment, 2016-12-27)Overland flows contaminated with manure borne pathogens pose risks to public health, because fecal pathogens may infiltrate into soil matrix from overland flows and contaminate soil water aquifers. The objective of this ... -
Effect of vegetated filter strips on transport and deposition rates of Escherichia coli in overland flow in the eastern escarpments of the Mau Forest, Njoro River Watershed, Kenya
Olilo, C. O.; Onyando, J. O.; Moturi, W. N.; Muia, A. W.; Ombui, P.; Shivoga, W. A.; Roegner, A. F. (Energy, Ecology and Environment, 2016-02-14)The fate and transport of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in lotic waters through vegetated filter strips (VFSs) was evaluated in a field model pasture, utilizing VFSMOD Windows along with direct pathogen testing. This study ...
