Modelling of nitrates in River Nzoia using MIKE 11
(Water Practice and Technology, 2017-03)Eutrophication is a serious problem in Lake Victoria as a result of enrichment by nutrients transported by the rivers draining into it. River Nzoia is one of the main rivers draining into the lake. The main aim of this ... -
Modelling soil water distribution under Moistube irrigation for cowpea (VIGNA unguiculata(L.) Walp.) crop(dagger)
(Irrigation and Drainage, 2020-07-22)Moistube irrigation (MTI) is a type of technology which uses a semipermeable membrane to emit water continuously in response to soil water potential and applied pressure. Soil water dynamics under MTI incorporating plant ... -
Nutritional yield and nutritional water productivity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under varying irrigation water regimes
(Water SA, 2020-07)There is a need to mainstream traditional crops in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to tackle food and nutritional insecurity through incorporating nutritional quality into crop water productivity, in the wider context of the ... -
Water resource management: IWRM strategies for improved water management.
(plos one, 2021-05-25)Objective The analytical study systematically reviewed the evidence about the IWRM strategy model. The study analysed the IWRM strategy, policy advances and practical implications it had, since inception on effective ... -
Soil water dynamics under Moistube irrigation
(Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 2020-02)The design and management of irrigation systems require knowledge of soil water movement. There are few studies on soil water dynamics of Moistube irrigation (MTI) since it is a relatively new type of subsurface irrigation ... -
Rhizobium-Linked Nutritional and Phytochemical Changes Under Multitrophic Functional Contexts in Sustainable Food Systems
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021-01-11)Rhizobia are bacteria that exhibit both endophytic and free-living lifestyles. Endophytic rhizobial strains are widely known to infect leguminous host plants, while some do infect non-legumes. Infection of leguminous roots ... -
Rhizobium improves nutritive suitability and tolerance of Phaseolus vulgaris to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum by boosting organic nitrogen content
(Applied Soil Ecology, 202-05)Symbiotic nitrogen fixing Rhizobium species have been reported to trigger induced resistance reactions that are inhibitive to aboveground antagonists. We tested the hypothesis that root infection by nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium ... -
Challenges Facing Small and Medium Water Service Providers in Kenya: A Case of Amatsi Water Services Company, Vihiga County
(Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2018-01)The access to water services is a fundamental human right. Water and sanitation services coverage in Kenya is low even with the implementation of reforms in the sector initiated in 2002. Small and medium Water Service ... -

Adsorption of Caffeine and Ciprofloxacin onto Pyrolitically Derived Water Hyacinth Biochar: Isothermal, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies
(2006-09)In this work, the adsorptive features of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) derived biochar for sequestration of ciprofloxacin and caffeine from aqueous solution is reported. The isothermal behaviour, adsorption kinetics, ...
