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 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 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 ... -
